Action Required
There
are three primary words for love in the Bible: eros (sensual love); phileo
(brotherly love); and agape (unconditional, supernatural love).

Do it out of love, knowing that I am put
here for the defense of the gospel.
Philippians 1:16
|
Society
focuses mainly on eros or phileo. God’s love, agape, is the purest, deepest
kind. You are created as the object of God’s love. His heart overflows toward
you. Your Heavenly Father proved His love first when He sent Jesus to die on
the cross on your behalf. Then He left His Holy Spirit to guide and comfort
you. Finally, God has given you His love letter, the Bible, through which you
come to understand how much He adores and cherishes you. However, just knowing
His love isn’t enough. It requires action.
As you thank Him today for the incredible gift of His love, take a moment to read I Corinthians 13 and let the words sink into your mind and your heart. Insert your name in the place of the word “love” and ask God to develop those qualities in you. Look for opportunities to demonstrate His love to others. Then pray that the nation’s leaders would come to know and act upon true agape love in their lives.
