What is Agape?
Agape is pronounced "ah-GAH'-pay". It is a Greek word. Found first in the biblical New Testament, agape expresses the spiritual, not physical, love of God for his people. It is an unconditional love and concern for others. Agape is a love that accepts everyone for who they are. This is the same love that God expressed for us through the death of Jesus Christ, His Son (1 John 4:9,10). It is a selfless love. Everyone has capacity for agape love. We have this type of love, caring and concern at The Agape Center.
Is there more to life? From the day you were born, you have been on a quest. You have been searching for something more. You sense that life must have some kind of meaning and purpose beyond mere existence. Maybe you've even wondered if you are the only person who feels this way. You aren't. Deep down inside, we're all searching for agape. You can be successful and miserable. Your soul can be in the wrong place. Knowing what matters is very important. Being good isn't always enough. However, we are not perfect. Jesus is perfect. We must make a decision. A "no" decision is a decision. We must invite Him into our lives. Once we do this, our life is forever changed because of His agape love.
The "Four Spiritual Laws" is a nice summary of the previous paragraph.
