Today's type of love that we will be looking at is agape.
This kind of love is the highest kind because it comes from God towards humans/peoples.
Agape love is pure, sacrificial, perfect, and undefiled, no type of measurement can measure this type of love, and nothing can compare to this type of love, given without repayment.
This is the love God has for us.
This love is freely given.
There is nothing we need to do to receive this kind of love.
This love is freely given.
This is God's love, Amen!!!!
Bible verses about agape:

15 So when they had broken their fast, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. 16 He saith to him again a second time, Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I [f]love thee. He saith unto him, Tend my sheep. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, [i]Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. 18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. 19 Now this he spake, signifying by what manner of death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.John 21:15-19 ASV
