    Agape - Definition Of Agape Love In The Bible



    christianity.about.com/od/glossary/a/Agape.htm - Cached

    Agape is a Greek term for one of the four types of love in the Bible. Jesus Christ showed this type of love and commands his followers to do likewise.



    Agape is Greek word for love used often in the New Testament (John 13:35, I Corinthians 13:1).  It is a love of the will rather than the emotions.  The New Testament never speaks of God loving unbelieving human beings with emotional love or a lvoe which expects something in return.  But He loves with His will -- with Agape (John 3:16).

    Also means: hanging your mouth wide open in amazement and/or wonder....kind of slack jaweyed looking if you can picture it
