What does Christian love really look like? Christian Questions, Moments that Matter

We have arrived! This episode explores the final and highest rung of the Apostle Peter’s “virtue ladder”: agape, the selfless, God-shaped love that defines the true purpose of Christian character.

God is agape. It is the love Jesus lived by laying down his life, and the love the apostles taught as the unmistakable evidence of spiritual maturity. This love is free from selfish motive, it seeks no advantage and is offered even when it is not reciprocated.

Agape grows out of and surpasses brotherly kindness by loving enemies, blessing those who persecute us, and caring for those we don’t naturally like.

The first few verses of 1 Corinthians 13, show us how agape must shape what we as Christians say, know and do. Without it, eloquence becomes noise, knowledge becomes pride, and even great acts of sacrifice lose their spiritual value.

How can understanding "agape" love change our lives? For the answer to these questions and supporting scriptures listen to the full podcast now:
