Book excerpt: In a world full of hopelessness and despair, there is one thing that people need more than ever: love. Within the core of every human being, there is a longing to feel and to truly know what love is. Many think that love is based on subjective emotions and feelings; however, nothing could be further from the truth. The objective truth of what it really means to love goes far beyond any emotion or feeling. The truth is that we must choose to love rather than feel it. When this is achieved, the love of Christ is made clear in a profound and powerful way. John 15:13 says, 'Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.' This simple verse carries incredible depth as author John Marcus helps readers discover the love it takes to make a complete self-sacrifice in Agape: What is it? This convicting study provokes deeper biblical understanding of what it means to be a mature Christian and to grow with agape love. Christians will be challenged to think about what they define as 'love' as John gives insight from his own testimony to help readers to love sacrificially. Topics covered include: overcoming with longsuffering, casting out fear, being able to cover the sins of others, and loving in truth. Learn how to apply these solid principles in everyday life. Start the adventure of growing in the love of Jesus Christ and sharing it with the world. Marriages, friendships, families, and so many more can be transformed by this love. Discover how in Agape: What is it? Author John Marcus has grasped what it means to love with agape love after growing up in a home full of selfishness, pride, and substances abuse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this insightful work, the author explores the fundamental Christian virtue of 'agape.' Spicq's genius is the way he combines fine linguistic analysis, exegesis, and theological insight. The three volumes cover most of the New Testament books: Volume 1: 'Agape in the Synoptic Gospels' Volume 2: 'Agape in the Epistles of St. Paul, the Acts of the Apostles, the Epistles of St. James, St. Peter, and St. Jude' Volume 3: 'Agape in the Gospel, Epistles and Apocalypse of St. John' In the writings of St. John there is one aspect of 'agape' which is brought out in singular relief--the aspect of manifestation and proof. Most of St. John's uses of the word should be translated 'manifest love,' 'love which proves itself,' or 'the economy, the development of the divine love.' --from the Introduction

Download or read book Giving Christianity Back to Agape Love written by Matthew Carriker and published by LifeRich Publishing. This book was released on 2022-05-09 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How could a church that has been plagued by anti-Semitism, the killing of the Crusades, and the violence of the Inquisition (to name a few) be redeemed of these evils? Quite simply, it has always returned to Jesus. When you return to Jesus, you return to the heart of his message: agape. Agape is a Greek word in the New Testament referring to a love that is without limits and beyond conditions. Agape is the love that God has for us, and that we are called to have towards one another. This book centers around this one assumption: God loves us unconditionally. Our task- individually and as communities- is to be instruments of that love. This book reenvisions traditional Christian beliefs- including sin, the Bible, salvation, homosexuality, pluralism, Jesus, and atonement theology- through the lens of agape love. What would the Christian life look like if we embodied the good news in community as contemplatives in action? In a time when churches are dying and failing, giving Christianity back to agape love has the power to bring life into a religion that feels old, worn out, and over-institutionalized. To return Christianity to Jesus is to give the church universal back to a love that is boundless, free, and unconditional; to a love that finds its heart in service, peacemaking, and radical transformation; to a love that will set the world on fire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nineteenth- and twentieth-century Russian religious intellectuals devoted a great deal of attention to the concept of agape, or Divine Love, arguing that the Christian church is a reflection of the triune, self-sacrificing God and his love for all of creation. On account of their deliberations, these intellectuals played a key role in mediating between the Orthodox Church and modern society. Their quest for dialogue between the 'mystery of the sacred' and the 'ordinary of everyday life' remains relevant for Western societies today. In God as Love Johannes Oravecz presents a comprehensive summation of twenty-five prominent Russian religious thinkers and their thought on the concept of agape, showing in detail how they broke new ground in their various affirmations of the truth that God is love. No other book in any language treats this topic with such breadth and depth.

Download or read book Repentance written by Amitai Etzioni and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no consensus about what someone who has violated society's rules must do in order to be fully restored to the community. Although repentance is a prominent idea in religions ranging from Judaism, Christianity, and Islam to Buddhism and Hinduism, its use in civic culture is vague and inconsistent. For example, is remorse the same as repentance? Drawing from a variety of religious and civic perspectives, the renowned contributors to this book_from the fields of theology, philosophy, and the social sciences_offer a broad understanding of repentance and its many applications. The essays question the legitimacy of repentance as a religious concept for the civic culture, exploring the way in which the religious origins of repentance might both illuminate and facilitate our civic usage of the idea. Excellent for theologians, philosophers, moral ethicists, and anyone asking, ' Who deserves a second chance?'

Book excerpt: Ever wonder why Christians treat each other in the nasty ways that they do? Why is it that the church, which is supposed to be a place of peace, love and harmony, is often a place of division, recrimination and fighting? There is an answer. Ever ponder why it is so difficult, or at times, virtually impossible, for you to sustain a behavior of love as our dear Savior commands? Is it that we don't have enough willpower, or is it our understanding of love? There is an answer to this also. Agape, the forgotten teaching of Jesus gives clear, concise answers to these questions. To understand what God teaches about His Agape is to find freedom and fully enjoy the greatest of the Holy Spirit's gifts. Understand Agape. Be transformed in your life, your church and your world.

Book excerpt: Human kind lost more than its innocence when Adam and Eve shared fruit from the knowledge of good and evil tree. They lost the ability to love like God. Unconditional and selfless. The impact of this loss led Cain to kill Abel, Hitler to open concentration camps, murders, and greed in our United States. Hatred, bigotry, racism, broken marriages, people without home, food or hope, people who suffer emotional and mental wounds are with us every day because human love is no longer like God's love. The Christian church is also affected. It does not have to be that way. With "Agape, the Forgotten Teaching of Jesus," author Augie Ristow introduces you to the forgotten teaching of Jesus. This truth opens the door for a foundational shift in your love, the way that God intended your love to be. Augie Ristow is a life long Christian. He holds a Masters of Divinity from a conservative Lutheran seminary. Through nearly twenty years of careful study, he has become the foremost expert on the biblical truth of Agape. As an intentional interim pastor, he uses the teaching of Agape as the foundational element for a church's new hope and direction. He is a mentor to pastors and churches who want an Agape ministry. He enjoys the companionship of his wife, their five grown children, and Molly the wonder dog. Find more information about Augie, Agape Christianity and Agape ministry at agapeforyou.com.
