How much does God love you? Look at the cross. See His true love — agape love, Agape love is more than words or feelings. It gives. It sacrifices. It pays a price for the one it loves. Jesus said, “There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” (John 15:13). Then He stretched out His hands and gave His life for us. When you question whether God loves you, remember the cross. Jesus has already shown you how much He loves you. Watch my sermon “THE IMPACT OF AGAPE LOVE”.

𝐀𝐠𝐚𝐩𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨 𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞. This is LOVE that pays any price to bless, restore, and liberate others. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝. This love cannot be compared to human love. Human love comes and goes, rises and falls. But 𝐀𝐠𝐚𝐩𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞. It never fails. It gives unconditionally and blesses unconventionally. 𝐈𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐝. God has lavished Agape Love on you because He is passionate about His relationship with you. He is crazily in love with you!

God doesn’t love you only when you’re good. He doesn’t love you because you deserve it. God’s love for you began even before you were born. Ephesians 1:4 says that before the world was made, God loved us and chose us in Christ. Before you could do anything to earn His love, His heart was already turned toward you. He loved you so much He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die for you. When you wonder whether you are loved, look to the Cross. Watch my sermon “THE IMPACT OF AGAPE LOVE”.

YOU ARE LOVED! You are loved with God’s agape love. Agape love comes from God's heart directly to you. God’s agape love is a sacrificial love. It keeps giving, keeps reaching, and does not give up no matter the cost. And in Jesus, we see the price God was willing to pay to bring us close to Himself.
