Wisdom is the application of knowledge. It is not enough to simply know without applying that knowledge to your life. Agape must always be love in action but what does that look like? What does that look like for you? Selflessness Generosity Sacrificial Unconditional...
The Fruit of Unconditional Love
The Implications of Agape The implications of agape are profound for our lives as Christians. If we are called to love others with a selfless and sacrificial love, then this must shape how we think and act towards others. As Jesus says, “By this everyone will know...
