PART 2 – THE TRANSCENDENT AGAPE LOVE
In Scripture, the transcendent agape love is the highest form of love (as the reciprocal love between God and humans is made obvious in one’s unselfish love of others).
God is outside of humanity’s full experience, perception, or grasp; His love beyond our understanding. It surpasses all, covers all, and is all; in every area of our life – relationships, situations, circumstances, trials, troubles, and tribulations. The Agape Love is the love He has for everyone, which has no conditions as to who we are, what we are doing, have done, or will do because He has no respect for one person over the other: He loves us all and is here to help us at all times; we need but ask. (Romans 2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God). Nor does He favor or care for any type of sin.The ones that are listed in the scripture, shows the culmination of the sort of sin, in which God hates. When we engage in such, it creates a void of love for one another due to the action and reaction they induce and the outcome they produce. (Proverbs 6:16-19 Proverbs 6:16-19 16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren).
To know YHWH, God, is to know true, perfect love. The why He died on the Cross for us. This love, which I am referring to, is the utmost form of love, YHWH, GOD’s love (Agape Love); the one where in we strive to achieve the goal of attaining it. So, to develop the kind of love needed to ensure continuance in your walk with the Father, in His Son’s, Jesus’ name, we must go about practicing what Jesus preached and walked (according to His own Word). This means being selfless, compassionate, and merciful towards one another as Jesus taught us to be (Agape Love) without pretense or ulterior motives. All throughout Jesus’ life, His message was and still is, is to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength and love one another as you love yourself. He added that among all the commandments, given by God, that these two were and still is, the greatest. (Mark 12:29-31 29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. 31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these).
But somewhere down the line man has chosen to ignore them almost completely. And with that complacent attitude, a self-satisfied state of negligence or carelessness toward love for God, and others, comes the inability to show compassion, or the capability of forgiveness. But what do you think would happen if we were to acknowledge God’s Truth and seek His face (attached is His Love), turn away from evil and to turn toward good” (which is the summary of all repentance), and actually practice Love? There would be a turnaround in the world’s evil ways and God would heal this diseased land. (Ephesians 4:32: “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God has forgiven you.”) (2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land).
Love is the disposition to do good to others, and to make them happy by granting their requests, supplying their wants, or assisting them in distress. It is the level of care and concern, which YHWH, God, shows us at all times, that we should have for our fellow man by having a tender or good nature; kindhearted. When we do our part, God will reward us for being faithful because He is love. And even though we do not deserve it, God is kind to the unthankful, and to the evil. Now that is love! (Luke 6:35 But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked).
1 Peter 4:8 8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. GOD’S GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.
