Be Kind to Yourself and Others … 

*The Greatest Commandment – 

It is the 2016 Holiday Season and the Holy Bible says when Jesus Christ was asked: “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”  Matthew 22:36-40 @ http://biblehub.com/niv/matthew/22.htm Plus More Commentary @ http://www.gotquestions.org/greatest-commandment.html  **Father God is Agape Love!!! Remember that God Loves You and Jesus Christ is Your Gift for Salvation… “…Agape love is a little different. It is not a feeling; I t's a motivation for action that we are free to choose or reject. Agape is a sacrificial love that voluntarily suffers inconvenience, discomfort, and even death for the benefit of another without expecting anything in return. We are called to agape love through Christ's example: "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and

gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." Ephesians 5:1-2 – More Commentary @ http://www.compellingtruth.org/agape-love.html  “What is Agape Love? Answer: The Greek word agape is often translated “love” in the New Testament. How is “agape love” different from other types of love? The essence of agape love is goodwill, benevolence, and willful delight in the object of love. Unlike our English word love, agape is not used in the New Testament to refer to romantic or sexual love. Nor does it refer to close friendship or brotherly love, for which the Greek word philia is used. Agape love involves faithfulness, commitment, and an act of the will. It is distinguished from the other types of love by its lofty moral nature and strong character. Agape love is beautifully described in 1 Corinthians 13.” – Read More @ http://www.gotquestions.org/agape-love.html  And @ http://biblehub.com/niv/1_corinthians/13.htm And on Brotherly Love (philia) @ https://www.gotquestions.org/phileo-love.html  Agape Love – “… the fourth Greek word for “love,” agapé, typically defined as the “self-sacrificing love.” This is the love that moves people into action and looks out for the well-being of others, no matter the personal cost. Biblically speaking, agapé is the love God showed to His people in sending His Son, Jesus, to die for their sins. It is the love that focuses on the will, not the emotions, experience, or libido. This is the love that Jesus commands His disciples to show toward their enemies (Luke 6:35). Eros and philia are not expressed to people who hate us and wish us ill; agapé is. In Romans 5:8, Paul tells us that God’s love for His people was made manifest in that “while we were still sinners [i.e., enemies], Christ died for us.” – More Commentary @ https://www.gotquestions.org/eros-love.html
