Agape - Love

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ส.ค. 2024
- The word “love” is one of the sloppiest words in our language, as it primarily refers to a feeling that happens to a person. In the New Testament, “love” or "Agape" refers to a way of treating people that was defined by Jesus himself: seeking the well-being of others regardless of their response.

After 26 years of my life and losing my faith somewhere on the way, this video made me finally realise why Jesus had to sacrifice himself and die for us. He didn't really have to. And by letting His "enemies" "win" He ultimately showed us that there are no real enemies in life and It is not about winning with anyone. This touched me deeply.
💕 agape to you.
Jesus died as punishment for the things we've done wrong, so we can be right with God even though we deserve punishment.
@Spooky no that’s false teachings
Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice that forgave our sins so we could come to the Father. He is the Truth the Way and the Life. No one comes to the Father but through Him!
Thanks for your help with my religion work
People : Which is the most important ? Loving God or loving your neighbor ?
Jesus : Yes.
I know I'll find this comment, and tbh this line is underrated 😭
Jesus did the first "yes" comment if you think about it.
The Bible says : "the first and greatest commandment is to loveGod with all your soul heart, and mind...the second is like into it: love your neighbor as yourself.On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."
Out of our love for God comes our Love for man kind as God first loved mankind.
That's where that meme came from
Two sides of the same coin. One can’t exist without the other. By loving God you will love your neighbor. By loving your neighbor you will love God. This is so sensible, so basic, exactly what I need. Thank you so much. Thank God for you. Texas
Wow, love is not based on feelings but on our action, I pray I can love others around me the right way!
Well, Tierra, to do that we must obey Jesus.
Luke 14:33 "So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple."
Luke 12:33-34 "[33] Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
[34] For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
Matthew 6:19-21 "[19] Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
[20] But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
[21] For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
Matthew 6:24-34 "[24] No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
[25] Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
[26] Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
[27] Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
[28] And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
[29] And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
[30] Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
[31] Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
[32] (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
[33] But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
[34] Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."
Matthew 28:19-20 "[19] Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
[20],Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
John 14:15 "If ye love me, keep my commandments."
John 14:21, 23-24 "[21] He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
[23] Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
[24] He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me."
John 6:27 "Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed."
We must obey Jesus, as Christians. Stop working for money, for the food and drink that perishes! Did Jesus work for money? Did Paul? Did Peter? Did John? No, and for those that had done it, like Peter, they left all and followed Jesus. We *need* to do this too.
Matthew 7:21 "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."
Matthew 6:24 "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
We have to do this. This measns quitting your job, selling all that you have, giving the money to the poor, and obeying the Great Commission. Please, read the four Gospels humbly, realizing everything Jesus told us to do is still essential and fundamental for us today, and teach others to do this same thing.
@@Trulipy Interesting. However didn't Jesus also give food to the needy and so on? Isn't working for money to then spend on the poor working for God?
Wow this is amazing🎉
“Agape love is not primarily a feeling for someone else that happens to you, like our phrase “I fell in love”. For Jesus, love is action, a choice that you make to seek the well-being of people other than yourself.”
I love that
Yes that was beautifully and wisely stated. I hope you are blessed in this day. Keep shining!
Even when and especially for those where it will be unrequited!
No Love is not a choice , it is gift feeling, because if you don t feel it, you will not have pleasure to help others, and not be moved to do so... Yes Love is a feeling! A gift from God!
To everyone reading this, this is a sign to please keep going. No matter how stuck you feel, no matter how bad things are right now, no matter how hopeless & depressed you feel, no matter how many days you have spent wishing things were different. I promise you won't feel this way forever. Keep going. Jesus loves you!
You too pal! Very encouraging message! God bless you❤❤
You know I’m not having the best of times right now but your comment brought me to tears. Thank you and God bless you. 💙
Just wanna share - there's a word in Filipino called "bayanihan" which basically means serving others and doing things for others without expecting anything else in return and this vid just reminded me of the word!
The impact is the reward!
Thanks for sharing that 👍🏻
I love that you guys devoted time to explain the different meanings of word 'love' in the Bible, as translated in English versions. It really gives proper context to a myriad of verses. Keep up the good work you guys! :)
While the video was mostly good, it did not answer the question of what "agape" means. It can mean "love", but can also mean an "unhealthy attachment". There are at least 6 places in the Bible where it is portrayed as a bad thing, and Jesus even condemns some people for having agape!
Luke 6:32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
Here we see that sinners “agape” each other.
Luke 11:43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
Jesus condemns the Pharisees for having “agape”!
John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Jesus condemns men for having “agape”!!
2Timothy 4:10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.
Paul rebukes Demas for having “agape”.
2Peter 2:15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
Peter shows that Balaam’s “agape” was bad.
1John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
If any man has this “agape”, the “agape” of the Father is not in him.
So we clearly see that there are times in the Bible when “agape” refers to a love of something definitely not of God.
statutesofthelord You missed the whole meaning of real agape. While you are right, they “loved” the things that made their lives better, that’s not agape. Agape doesn’t translate exactly to love. It specifically means the selflessness side of Love and not the word “love” that we use so loosely. We can’t put “agape” in place of every time the word love is used. Agape isn’t the same love you’re thinking, if that makes sense
I think "agape" is more like pure love. Maybe in this world, love is prefer like "I love you cause you love" or "I love you cause you are kind to me". But the meaning of Agape is like "I love you 'although' you didn't like me" or "I love you 'although' you broken my heart" or "I love you 'although' you bullied me".
+Kevin Castro Every verse that statuesofthelord quoted uses a form of the greek word "agape" in it. So his point is quite valid that agape is not always used in a good way as something of God. You're right that it shouldn't be put in place of everywhere we would use the word love - but that's not what he was saying - he only quoted places where agape was the very word used. so when you say "you are right, they “loved” the things that made their lives better, that’s not agape." Well, actually according to the greek it is. I understand the emphasis of agape that believers use, and I have no problem with it, I agree even - just pointing out that statutesofthelord has a point (something I recently discussed with a greek scholar because I noticed these usages when reading my greek nt) that the word is sometimes used in different ways.
what is this a crossover episode?
GOD is Right on Time 🙏🏻✝️❤
"Η αγάπη ουδέποτε εκπίπτει"
"Love never faileth"
1 Corinthians 13:8
Beautiful
Thank you Holy Spirit
I got goosebumps when he washed the feet..who will do that??.. How can GOD be so humble..
Exactly. If that were me, i would be : "eew, gross" (especially if it were my enemy's foot)
It's very profound.
HAHAHAHAHA I love ur honesty
God bless you! and Use You mightly! thanks! really wonderful!
Love you brothers!
Loving God is important
Thank you Jesus for all you’ve done for us and for your agape ♥️
These videos are so well done, insightful, and continually help to bring perspective into my day to day. Thanks for all your hard work Bible Project team!
Nathan Crenshaw they really are. Can you subscribe to my TH-cam channel
So true. God is working through this project!
Jasmine Williams I agree also! The lord is really coming through with this channel and giving it great a powerful lessons. Would you mind subscribe to my TH-cam channel it’s about god and the Bible
In fact, agape is also true power, if you think about it. Anyone can be in charge of control, but only those who can put others before themselves humbly can ever be truly powerful (even if they are not in charge).
KJVonlyreaders be like watt...what does Scobydoo say about that
We need this badly right now. Our number one obligation is to love God and love others. Great video!
This series is truly a blessing 🙏🙏
LOVE THE LORD
YOUR GOD
WITH ALL YOUR HEART
WITH ALL YOUR MIND
WITH ALL YOUR SOUL
AND LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR
like you
LOVE YOURSELF
thank you bing bong :')

Lovely...“We love, because he first loved us" 1 John 4:19
THANK YOU LORD FOR TEACHING ME THE IMPORTANCE OF YOUR KIND OF LOVE & NOT OF THE WORLD...I LOVE YOU MY KING
Agape is an act of the Will. a Choice. a Decision.
I am obsessed with Bible project , learning soooo much, sometimes I’m like I needa stop watching so Jesus can give me my own revelation haha 🙌🏼
I'm a 13 year old and your videos help me understand God and life in extraordinary ways. Thank you.😊
Keep the faith! You'll be glad you did :)
Unconditional love is only possible when you see yourself as absolutely equal to everyone else. Seeing God in both yourself and also in every other person allows you to empathize with their individual circumstances and to extend to them compassion, understanding, forgiveness, and love. This is possible even for those who have hurt you the most.
Thich Nhat Hanh has many amazing teachings on love and reconciliation in modern times and among the most polarized groups. I believe he has worked with several Jewish and Palestinian groups, as well. 🙏🏼
Beautiful comment dear! Yes, you have made such an important point. The world needs more people who understand this. The world is too often a cold and uncaring place and there are many who are starving for love. A little kindness can go a long way with people.
This is beautiful, however, seeing God in others is limited to seeing God in His children because that is where His Holy Spirit dwells. We should just love everyone with the understanding and truth that God is Love and the Author of Love and we ought to love others with the Love that saved us through Jesus Christ(John 3:16). I love you but God loves you wayyy more; be blessed, sister🤍🤍
Also, I just wanted to kindly let you know that the emoji in your username there is the evil eye, which is sinful and not from God. It is part of new age spirituality. New age is completely demonic and evil thus entertaining those things is giving the enemy a foothold in your life( "Don't give the devil a chance." Ephesians 4:27 GNT)
Please repent and ask God for forgiveness and pray against any works the enemy has tried to do through these things. I'll be praying for you too. Again, I love you but God loves you wayyy more🤍
God is so good. He is ❤️
Thumbs up for Pizza Mom.
I love this:-)
Huh
Yeeeez
Mom means heart in Al Pacino
😆
Thanks I love you guys you teach in away that even a child can learn❤❤🙏🏽🙏🏽
Your voice is so kind and gentle, full of God's Love, that I could listen for hours. Thank you and Bless you all for doing what God has called you to do. Ahavah
I just love watching your Bible video. It easy to understand thank you so much.
Okay so, hi, I'm an atheist, not really here to talk about why, but I just got this in my suggestions, which tells me TH-cam believes I need some Jesus hahaha ok fair enough 😂
Anyway I'm... Weirdly fascinated (?) this video is awesome I'll watch some more later
Yes Jesus does Love you !
Do you believe what was shared in this video?
there's religion and there's Jesus Christ. you ought to give Jesus Christ a fair trial and investigate to see what he's all about
@@creativeilya I second this. Ignore the fanatics. Look at the videos on this channel and you will understand more.
What did you find fascinating/awesome?
I claim victory through Jesus Christ! Halleluja
The decision and patience. The fruit of faith in the living god!
Keep the faith!
YESSSS. I'm so thankful for The Bible Project. You guys are a blessing!
I am addicted to bible project now. carry on this journey of love....Thank you
we know nothing of love Lord! teach us to love You more! help us to love our neighbor! humble our proud hearts that think they know how to love when they don't have the slightest clue!
Love... it's what the world currently lacks.
We as Christians need to spread love, using the power of Jesus Christ,
As the one with the most love!
I Love how The Bible Project breaks down different parts of the Bible for me & the understanding of it's teachings... Thank you 🙏🕊️🌄🌈❤️
This is excellent; how many are looking for True Love, but only comes from Loving ABBA first❤️
Arguably the most misunderstood word in the English language: love. Good things you guys made this to clarify such an overly- misused word, especially referring to the ancient language which the Biblical authors communicated in to spread the gospel.
Exactly, true love is actions, NOT mere feelings. So many folks have misinterpreted that these days unfortunately.
Thanks to you, Jon and Tim, I had an unsuspected insight about feet. They're the lowliest and most neglected appendage, usually out-of-sight, yet we're utterly dependent upon them for our well being. They're a marvel of engineering, and even beauty when cared for. So are the poor, often, who labor long and hard without recognition or rewards. They carry us from darkness to light, just as Jesus did. Great work, guys! The animation of our LORD washing someone's foot opened my eyes, even after 60 years of study.
So very true, great insights brother! I would like to add that one quickly takes notice of the most neglected appendage when stubbing a pinky toe upon a coffee table. Even the lowly pinky toe matters and deserves attention
Something that I find amazing about this, is that his disciples would've been wearing thin sandals or no shoes at all for miles in very hot weather, walking through disgusting stuff. And Jesus still humbled himself and cleansed them. It reminds me of myself, I am a disgusting sinner but Jesus still cleanses me and renews me anyway because of my faith. Praise Jesus ❤ I am a 14 year old and I love Jesus so much
Thank you for making my faith and understanding of not only the Bible and my life so much better❤ Love ya’ll! God bless!
Amen God bless you all in Jesus name amen and amen
Merry Christmas Bible Project. We “love” you!
I couple of meanings of the word. :)
Do a word study on “Merry Christmas”..if you agape Jesus you won’t wish anyone a merry Christmas...
Wow your dp and your name!!!!!
@@mrniceguy3750 Dude there is absolutely no evidence that Christmas is pagan... Its all speculation. And the word Christmas literally has the word Christ in it.
@@ea-tr1jh yes there is and from reliable sources. Jesus wasn't even born in December.
"And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night."
Luke 2:8
This is the night when Jesus was born. Shepards don't take there herd out in the field in winters unless they want them to freeze and die.
Sorry but the church has been deceived by the enemy for so long and we are finally being freed from it.
i am blessed to have found such videos.I have been struggling in reading the bible,these video have made it easy for me to understand and enjoy the bible even more.God bless you all. Love from TANZANIA,Africa
👑 Jesus leads the way! 🫡
He talked the talk and walked the walk ❤️✝️
I so loved this video;
I never wanted it to stop.
I pray that HIS love will pull you guys through and keep you faithful to HIS cause.
AMEN.
I'm glad this was brought to light. K always thought that love was a feeling that I had to have for the people around me. But it's action oriented.
Halleluja to the Lamb of God!
True love is not getting mad at people who wrong you but continue to love them like Jesus did all the way to the cross.
1 John 4:16 is one of my favorite verses summing up of this idea. "God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them.
"
Your love for God is seen in your love for people 💕
Agape!! Was written in my baby's mother's Bible. Now here we are! Very interesting. God is wonderful and Jesus IS spectacular if you can imagine.
This was a great explanation of agape love. 1 Corinthians chapter 13 expands on the definition. The wonderfully good news is that God IS love. Love is not an attribute of God, it is His essence as John expressed in his epistle.
When we see God as love, rather than love as one of His attributes, balanced and offset by other attributes, our understanding of God, His kingdom, and the scriptures change dramatically. Very liberating.
Describing and illustrating "love" is no small feat! You guys did it with such creativity + wisdom. Super solid
Thank you guys for the agapé you have shown to us with these videos.
I thank God for your ministry, your clear easy to understand formula makes for a great learning tool. These lessons are a real blessing!
Nothing was real in my life until I called on the name of Jesus Christ for help. God bless you guys for making these wonderful videos
I appreciate your content. I bet it takes a lot of time and effort to make these videos and they are not only so seamless, but also teach about the Bible in an informative way. Using imagery helps make the videos engaging. Praise God that you give resources that, from what I have seen so far, can glorify God!
Affections, Sympathy, Merciful And God.
Love.
This episode made me cry :,)
How amazing and beautiful God's love is, I pray that we all can give and receive this kind of real love more in our lives. God bless us, everyone!
I praise God for His love towards all!
I agape this so much! Thank you for this!
Word!
I GOT MY BIBLE STORY BOOK IN THE MAIL!!!! Its awesome!!!!!!!
What is your channel called?
Cheryl Swaan Were you asking me? If you were it’s king bible lessons
Thank you!
Cheryl Swaan no thank you! If you can share with friends and family please do if you can no worries!
King Bible lessons oh I will!!
Love your channel you increase those who do not know how to live the life of Christ. You increase the conscience of those who have it weak.
Amen❤God bless you all 🎉Thank You For Sharing the True Message of Agape Love🎉God is Love ❤
Love your videos guys,thank you so much. I'm fast tracking my biblical studies,thanks to these..lol
God bless and protect you both
Thanks for your love, by Making this videos :')
Keep doing what your doing and god blessed you and the people reading this
Poweful explanation, thank you! To God be the glory, let the people who follow Jesus and the one who is on the way to follow will be blessed by this love of God. Amen :)
Thank you guys again for such a beautiful insight into God's love!
God bless this project 🙏🏻
Really really wonderful 😘
Merry Christmas from Egypt 🇪🇬
I was just there last month. Happy New Year!
Christimas isn't in the bible
Glorious one Bible project. There is no how you won't be rewarded for your works. God is the rewarder. God would reward you all. Amen
Fantastic video! I also think "Love your neighbor as yourself" denotes that you need to learn how to properly love yourself in order to love others well. Knowing how much God loves us helps us to show ourselves love, and He said that if we love Him, we keep His commandments, which keeps us within His limits and His protection.
This was beautiful thank you for making these amazing videos God bless
I love this one!!!
Pun not intended
I love puns, pun intended.
God bless you Amen ❤️🔥👍
Immediately: "So if you've heard of Jesus..."
I love you guys 😭😭😭😭
the animations literally are so cute, making my heart cry 🥺
I was waiting for a new video! Love it!
Yes I believe its clear; love God is the most important, because if you love God you will obey his commandments and his commandments means love your neighbor as yourself ( according to Jesus) ...
Thank you for this video
ABBA, please open my eyes to the needs of the people around me.
Enjoy watching these videos with the family
🙏🙏🙏🙏 Much blessings and love sent your way!
Excellent, one of my favourites from your project! Thank you so much for your hard work.
Im speechless.....this...this is amazing.....!!!!!!!! God will see these good works to completion.....best believe that.
Thanks so much for your excellent ministry, I used this video in the small group Bible study that I'm teaching on 1 John 3. It really helped make the point of how our for the brethren ought to look like and what should motivate it. Thanks!
0:05 is also in the book of Tobit, but the negative version: "do not do to others what you would not have them do to you"
-Tobit 4:15
It seems Tobit has a lot of these "negative" versions of teachings, with lots of "do nots" etc.
It almost seems like a father telling his kids not to do some thing
Keep this up this is great
Thank the Lord for the greatest gift if all, Jesus! Merry Christmas.
God bless The Bible Project. They teach the True Word of God. Amen.
Amen! Loved this!!
So good, you guys!
Love the Father!!! 💯❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽apttmh
Love: To seek the wellbeing of others other than ourselves. To create an ecosystem of others focused self giving love ❤. Thanks and amen 🙏🏾
