Agape is a Greek word that means love. Agape is the highest level or expression of love. It is the kind of love that is expressed through words like: divine, unconditional, self-sacrificing, devotion, and thoughtful. But the most pure definition of agape is to say that God is love. Not that God has love or gives love, which He certainly does, but simply that God is love. The Bible tells us this:
“Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is born of God and knows God. But anyone who does not love does not know God—for God is love.”
“God showed us how much he loved us by sending His only Son into the world so we might have eternal life through him. This is real love. It is not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.”
1 John 4:7-10 (The Bible – New Living Translation)
