Agape love from the Father

‘’agape love’’

One

The one who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], ‘’for God is love.’’ [He is the originator of love, and it is an enduring attribute of His nature.]

Let’s look at love from the agape version and see what this love is, a love that is wholly selfless and spiritual. Are we acting on this love for it has been given to us by Jesus, we have the same spirit as Christ therefore we have that agape love within us, a love for peoplethatonlyGodhadupuntilnow,butalovethathasbeenpouredoutuponmankind.

2 Timothy 1:7 Amplified Bible For God did ‘’not’’ give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear, but [He has given us a spirit] of ‘’power’’ and of ‘’love’’ and of ‘’sound judgment’’ and ‘’personal discipline’’ [abilities thatresultinacalm,well balancedmindandself control] Agape = Christianity selfless love felt by Christians for their fellow human beings; love that is wholly selfless and spiritual Thelovethatweusuallyfeelisasensuouslovefeltwiththesensesandnotwiththespirit. This scripture tells us that God gave us a ‘’spirit of love,’’ {agape love} and ‘’sound judgment’’ and ‘’personal discipline.’ ’With love comes sound judgment and personal discipline tohelpusliveasJesuslived,ashenowliveshisnewlifeinus.Itislovethatwill free his spirit to reach out from inside of us to a hurting world, to the unlikeable, to the worst of humanity. To reach those the world considers the vulgar, the corrupt, the gangstersthehoods;thosethatsocietywishestheycouldeliminateandmakedisappear. Those who feel that they have a reason to hate the world, what did this world ever give them, where did this world show them a satisfactory reason to live! These are those that Godexpectsustolovewith his agape love, his love thatdoesnotjudgethem,thosewhom societyhate,thedespicable,themostvulgarpeople,thosetheworldconsidersitwould to bebesttobeeliminated.

1 John 4:8 Amplified Bible

Agape love, what is that? What is agape love? This is something that I read about when I first came to the lord, but haven’t heard about in almost forty years since coming to him. It fascinated me back then and still does when I see it mentioned, even though it was I that mentioned it in another book I wrote.

God is love, and he is agape love without end, without condemnation or criticism or conflictoranythingthattakesawaypureunadulteratedloveinunblemishedform,andthat sameloveiswithineachofus,itisastonishingtorealizethatGodpouredouthissamelove withinyouandme?Whydidhedothis,thisishisownpersonallove,thatlovewithoutend orbeginning,ithasalwaysbeeninexistence;thatlovecreatedusthousandsandthousands ofyearsagofittingusalltogether,eachdayisrecordedinhisbookoflife.Everymiracleof lifeisinus,heplannedthatweshouldlivealifeofloveandmiraclesforloveismiraculous, there is no condemnation in it, there is no pointing out our mistakes, for love created us withourmistakes,andourlearningfromthosemistakes,andaswelearn,wechange,and becomemoreandmorelikeChristJesus. 1 Corinthians 6:17 Living Bible

But if you give yourself to the Lord, ‘’you and Christ’’ are ‘’joined together’’ as ‘’one person.’’ Not two persons but one single individual spirit person, who but God could do this, all the glory belongs to him. You see on TV superhero’s, but not one superhero can heal sicknessordisease,notoneofthesegreatmenandwomencanhealawound,butyoucan through agape love,forlovebringswithithealingfromwhicheverdiseaseitmaybe.

very challenging thing to do, and that is to believe that all this is a gift from a lovingfatherGod,whodesiresustobewell,andtobefilledwithhis agape love I have never thought to release that agape love on anyone in over forty one years, until now as I write this. I remember reading about it all those years ago and reading one of those passages from the book, but I couldn’t afford to buy any books even they were reduced in price, things were tough in those days including dad’s agape belt on my backside for doing something wrong. Now I realize that it hurt dad as much as it hurt me forhis agape love neverwantedtobeatanyofhiskids.

But if you give yourself to the Lord, you and Christ are joined together as one person. This is the planning of Almighty God And father, that his love would blend you and I and JesustogetherasonespiritualbeinggrowingmoreintoatemplemeantforGodhimselfto dwellin Ephesians 2:21 Living Bible We who believe are carefully joined together with Christ as parts of a beautiful, constantly growing temple for God.

He that believeth on him is ‘’not condemned: ’’ but he that ‘’believeth not’ ‘’is condemned already,’’ because he hath ‘’not believed’’ in the ‘name of the only begotten Son of God. ’ *mine* Youwishtoknowwhat agape love isthenreadthisandfindassuranceofthatloveforyou!

But God is so rich in mercy; he loved us so much 5 that even though we were spiritually dead and doomed by our sins, he gave us back our lives again when he raised Christ from the dead only by his undeserved favor have we ever been saved 6 and lifted us up from the grave into glory along with Christ, where ‘’we’’ *sit with him in the heavenly realms* all because of what Christ Jesus did. 7 And now God can always point to us as examples of how very, very rich his kindness is, as shown in all he has done for us through Jesus Christ. 8 Because of his kindness, you have been saved through trusting Christ. And even trusting is not of yourselves; it too is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good we have done, so none of us can take any credit for it. 10 It is God himself who has made us what we are and given us new lives from Christ Jesus; and long ages ago he planned that we should spend these lives in helping others. Can you even begin to imagine how incredible it is to know that God planned things out frombeforetimeevenbegan?Itisawesometoseethatweworryaboutthingsandinstead weshouldknowandunderstandthatGodhasalreadyplannedhowweshouldgetthrough our troubles and problems.

Because of his kindness, {compassion, sympathy, gentleness, kindheartedness, benevolence, thoughtfulness, consideration} you have been saved through trusting Christ.

Agape love causedustobedrawntogetherthroughreadinghiswordinthisbook,andasIsaidalready we will probably never meet in this life but we will see the connecters between us in heaven where all is explained, and the picture is connected just like a jigsaw puzzle, one pieceisconnectedbyatleastfourotherpieces,eachmakingupaclearerpicture.Justthink when you made a jigsaw puzzle as a kid how you picked a piece out and then you found other pieces that built up a complete picture so that you could go ahead and finish the inclusivepicture.

God has told us his secret reason for sending Christ, a plan he decided on in mercy long ago; 10 and this was his purpose: that when the time is ripe he will gather us all together from wherever we are in heaven or on earth to be with him in Christ forever. 11 Moreover, because of what Christ has done, we have become gifts to God that he delights in, for as part of God’s sovereign plan we were chosen from the beginning to be his, and all things happen just as he decided long ago. 12 God’s purpose in this was that we should praise God and give glory to him for doing these mighty things for us, who were the first to trust in Christ.

7 And now God can always point to us as examples of how very, very rich his kindness {compassion, sympathy, gentleness, kindheartedness, benevolence, thoughtfulness, consideration} is, as shown in all he has done for us through Jesus Christ. Isn’titbeautifulwhenyouseethisword‘’kindness’’ expressingthefullnessofitsmeaning showingusagreaterawarenessofhis agape love? Ephesians 1 Living Bible (TLB)

1 Dear Christian friend’s at Ephesus, ever loyal to the Lord: This is Paul writing to you, chosen by God to be Jesus Christ’s messenger. 2 May his blessings and peace be yours, sent to you from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

Long ago, even before he made the world, God chose us to be his very own through what Christ would do for us; he decided then to make us holy in his eyes, without a single fault we who stand before him covered with his love. 5 His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by sending Jesus Christ to die for us. And he did this because he wanted to!

6 Now all praise to God for his wonderful ‘’kindness’’ {compassion, sympathy, gentleness, kindheartedness, benevolence, thoughtfulness, consideration} to us and his favor that he has poured out upon us because we belong to his dearly loved Son 7 So overflowing is his kindness,{compassion, sympathy, gentleness, kindheartedness, benevolence, thoughtfulness, consideration} toward us that he took away all our sins through the blood of his Son, by whom we are saved; 8 and he has showered down upon us the richness of his grace for how well he understands us and knows what is best for us at all times.

3 How we praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every blessing in heaven because we belong to Christ.

13 And because of what Christ did, all you others too, who heard the Good News about how to be saved, and trusted Christ, were marked as belonging to Christ by the Holy Spirit, who long ago had been promised to all of us Christians. 14 His presence within us is God’s

This is just one more reason for us to praise our glorious God.

God ‘’has’’ ‘blessed us’ he is not going to bless us, ‘he’ has ‘already blessed us’ with ‘’EVERY BLESSING’’ in heaven, is thisnotthesuresignof agape love forus? 4 Long ago, even before he made the world, ‘’God chose ‘’us;’’ *he chose ‘’us’’,* that’ syou and me, long ago, ‘’think of this deeply’’, even *before* he made this world; we know from science that the world is millions of years old, so millions of years ago God was thinkingaboutyouand me, it didn’t takehimmillionsofyearstothinkaboutyouandme andwherewewouldfitintohisschemeofthingsbutmillionsofyearsagowewereonhis mind,maybeweweretherewithhiminheavenbutIdon’tknowforsure,thiswouldhave been before Adam and Eve destroyed our relationship with him.

Before he made this world think deeply about how God sees us; before he made this world or anything else; do you see yourself as how God sees you? He made a decision to seeus*holy in his eyes without a single fault;* ‘’before he made the world’’ thisishow God truly sees us, holy, and without a single fault; this is agape love in action! Do you think of yourself like God thinks of you? Do you believe that you are holy and without a singlefault?GivingGodgloryisacceptingwhathedoesandhowhesees,callingyourselfa sinner does not give God glory and sadly many Christians call themselves sinners and believetheyareinthesightofGod.His agape love cancelledoutyoursinsandminesoyou arenolongerasinner!

He showed his agape love to us as sinners Romans 5 Living Bible (TLB) 8 But God showed his agape love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we *were* still sinners. 9 And since by his blood he did all this for us as sinners, how much more will he do for us now that *he has declared us not guilty?* Now he will save us from ‘all of God’s’ wrath to come. 10 And since, when we were his enemies, we were brought back to God by the death of his Son, what blessings he must have for us now that we are his friends and he is living within us! The agape love ofourGodsentChristJesustodieinourplace,notasitshouldbe,usdying and facing the punishment for our entire sin filled lives. No, that agape love declared us not guilty of offending him;thatwasadecision,notaswedeserved.Godchosetosenda portionofhiminthetrinitytocometoearthandtastesinforhimselfandtheconsequences ofit,thoughhehimselfneversinned,andbecausehewasGodhedidn’tknowwhatsinfelt likeuntilhecarriedsinonhisbodyonthecross,andGodtheFathercouldn’tevenlookat Jesus, for Jesus said it when he said ‘’My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?’’ It wasthenthatGodknewwhatmanenduredfromthedevilstemptations.Thereisnosinin God, nor Jesus, nor his Holy Spirit, but now on that cross all the sin of the world come rushingtohisbodyandfilleditwithsin,thoughasIsaid,hehimselfneversinned.

So now, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith in his promises, we can have real peace with him because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. 2 For because of our faith, he has brought us into this place of highest privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to actually becoming all that God has had in mind for us to be.

Four A question for you

For this one man, Adam, brought death to many through his sin. But this one man, Jesus Christ, brought forgiveness to many through God’s mercy. 16 Adam’s one sin brought the penalty of death to many, while Christ freely takes away many sins and gives glorious life instead. 17 The sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to be king over all, but all who will take God’s gift of forgiveness and acquittal are kings of life because of this one man, Jesus Christ. 18 Yes, Adam’s sin brought punishment to all, but Christ’s righteousness makes men right with God, so that they can live. 19 Adam caused many to be sinners because he disobeyed God, and Christ caused many to be made acceptable to God because he obeyed. 20 The Ten Commandments were given so that all could see the extent of their failure to obey God’s laws. But the more we see our sinfulness, the more we see God’s abounding grace forgiving us. 21 Before, sin ruled over all men and brought them to death, but now God’s kindness rules instead, giving us right standing with God and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. WhatwasitthatbroughtGod’smercy?ItwasJesusChristthroughhissacrificehetookall of men/ woman’s sins upon his body on that cross and put them to death; he took everyone’s sins from the ‘beginning until the end of time itself,’ Jesus supernaturally took our sins that we have committed up until now, and all our future sins that we commit up untilourendoflife. We give all glory to God himself foritwashisplantouseJesustopay foroursins,anditwashismercyforusbecauseheloveduswithan agape love.

If ‘’ we ’’ could love our children unconditionally no matter what they may do, then think howmuchmoreGodlovesus,becauseheseetheenemiesworkinginallofourlivesandhe knows what’sbehindnastymoments, sins, faults, andfailures, buthe choosestooverlook them because of the blood of his divine son Jesus. If your child was to remain a child forever would you love it unconditionally? Yes you wouldand we are children of God not teenagersoradults,weremainchildreninthesightofGod,believethisornotbuthenever calls us his adults does he? He refers to us always as ‘’his children,’’ or ‘’his people,’’ but neveradults. Is this enough to convince you of the infinite agape love of God for you or do I need to writemore? What has the agape love of God done for you? Maybe you need more convincing, I don’t know, but if you do let’s look at some more scripture where the agape love of God done thingsforus. Five Gifts and blessings 1 Corinthians 1 Living Bible (TLB) 2 to: the Christians in Corinth invited by God to be his people and made acceptable to him by Christ Jesus. And to: ‘’All Christians everywhere’’ ‘’whoever calls upon the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and theirs.’’

Yes she did; but did this stop us loving her, or any other of our eight living children,wehadonemiscarriage‘’Martha’’whoisstillstronglyinourhearts,eventhough shewasmiscarriedwestillhaveanattachmenttoher,shewasourdaughter. We loved our children as each came along and unlike God who sees everything, the past andpresentandofcoursethefuture,welovedthemthroughgoodtimesandsometerrible times, but nothing has stopped us from loving them, and even if we had the power to see how they would turn out, their ‘’mistakes and their good points;’’ we would never changethem,theyareouroffspring’s,andweare ‘’all offspring’s of God’’ himself,weare his own children and so also are our children, for each has given their lives to Jesus thus makingusallrighteousandreadyforheaven.

3 May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you *all of his blessings* and *great peace of heart and mind.* 4 I can never stop thanking God for all the wonderful gifts ‘’he ‘’has’’ given you,’’ now that you are Christ’s: 5 he ‘’has’’ enriched your whole life. ’’ He ‘’has’’ helped you speak out for him and ‘’has’’ given you a full understanding of the truth; 6 what I told you Christ could do for you ‘’has’’ happened! 7 Now you ‘’have’’ every grace and blessing; every spiritual gift and power for doing his will ‘’are’’ yours during this time of waiting for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. 8 And ‘’he ‘guarantees’ ‘’right up to the end that you will be counted free from all sin and guilt on that day when he returns ’’ 9 God will surely do this for you, for he always does just what he says, and he is the one who invited you into this wonderful friendship with his Son, even Christ our Lord. StPaulsays,hecanneverstopthankingGodforallthewonderfulgiftshehas,andtheword ‘’has’’ means you ‘’already have’’ something in your possession, it is yours through his agape love foryou! Five times the word ‘’has’’ is mentioned here in this little portion of scripture, and the word ‘’have’’ meaningthesamethingisalsomentioned,and ‘’are, ’’ allmeaningsomething isyoursalready.Godisnotgoingtogiveusthesegiftsorblessings we already have them becausehe ‘’has’’ giventhemtousalready! Many times Christians waste their time praying for these gifts and blessings when they alreadyhavethem,sotheyarewastinggoodprayertimeandarealso ignorantofthegifts and blessings that are already in their possession. Read this scripture over again and see the agape love thatGodhasforyoubyseeingthegiftsandblessingsthat ‘’he has’’ givento you. 5 he ‘’has’’ enriched your whole life. ’’ He ‘’has’’ helped you speak out for him and ‘’has’’ given you a full understanding of the truth; 6 what I told you Christ could do for you ‘’has’’ happened! 7 Now you ‘’have’’ *every grace and blessing;* *every spiritual gift and power* for doing Wihisll ‘’are’’ yours during this time of waiting for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. 3 May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you *all of his blessings* and *great peace of heart and mind.*

This was agape love for us, that God used his son to die in such a terrible way after suffering appalling torture. The devil never through that God would go to such a great length to save mankind, by sacrificing his only son, for if he had known God’s plans he wouldneverhavehadtheJewstakehimprisonertohavehimputtodeathonacross;for on that cross he would bear all the sins of the world on him.

7 but we speak the hidden wisdom of God in a secret that God foreordained ‘’before the ages’’ ‘’to our glory’’ 8 which no one of the rulers of this age did know, for if they had known, the Lord of the glory they would not have crucified; 9 but, according as it hath been written, `What eye did not see, and ear did not hear, and upon the heart of man came not up, what ‘God did prepare’ for those loving Him --' 10 but to us did God reveal [them] through His Spirit, for the Spirit all things doth search, even the depths of God,’ 11 for who of men hath known the things of the man, except the spirit of the man that [is] in him? So also the things of God no one hath known, except the Spirit of God.

21 So don’t be proud of following the wise men of this world for God has already given you everything you need 22 He has given you Paul and Apollo’s and Peter as your helpers. He has given you the whole world to use, and life and even death are your servants. He has given you all of the present and all of the future. All are yours, 23 and you belong to Christ, and Christ is God’s.

20 Now do you see it? No one can ever be made right in God’s sight by doing what the law commands. For the more we know of God’s laws, the clearer it becomes that we aren’t obeying them; his laws serve only to make us see that we are sinners.

God planned that one day in the future that Jesus would come into this evil world and cleansitfromitvilesins,anditwas Gods plans, andnooneelse’splanstobringmenand womentosalvationthroughJesuspayingfortheirsinsandallthesinsoftheentireworld.

21 22 But now God has shown us a different way to heaven not by “being good enough” and trying to keep his laws, but by a new way (though not new, really, for the Scriptures told about it long ago). Now God says he will accept and acquit us—declare us “not guilty” if we trust Jesus Christ to take away our sins. And we all can be saved in this same way, by coming to Christ, no matter who we are or what we have been like. 23 Yes, all have sinned; all fall short of God’s glorious ideal; 24 yet now God declares us “not guilty” of offending him if we trust in Jesus Christ, who in his kindness freely takes away our sins.

Now read the following scripture and see how many times the name ‘’God’’ appears, and whatdoesitsayaboutthescriptureitself! Romans 3 Living Bible (TLB)

25 For God sent Christ Jesus to take the punishment for our sins and to end all God’s anger against us. He used Christ’s blood and our faith as the means of saving us from his wrath, in this way he was being entirely fair, even though he did not punish those who sinned in former times. For he was looking forward to the time when Christ would come and take away those sins 26 And now in these days also he can receive sinners in this same way because Jesus took away their sins. But isn’t this unfair for God to let criminals go free, and say that they are innocent? No, for he does it on the basis of their trust in Jesus who took away their sins.

Itwasanditis agape love thatGodsentdownhissonJesustocomeintothisworldnotto bring condemnation but agape love by forgiving men and women their sins. This was all God the fathers plans notJesusplansbutJesuswasobedienttohisfather’splans.

He was despised, and we didn’t care 4 yet it was our grief he bore, our sorrows that weighed him down. And

Now God has shown us a different way to heaven and that way was Jesus, who declared himselftobe‘’thewaythetruthandthelife.’’

27 Then what can we boast about doing to earn our salvation? Nothing at all; Why? Because our acquittal is not based on our good deeds; it is based on what Christ has done and our faith in him. 28 So it is that we are saved by faith in Christ and not by the good things we do., 20 Now do you see it? No one can ever be made right in God’s sight by doing what the law commands. No one can ever be made right in God’s sight by doing what the law commanded back then before Jesus came into this world. Because obeying the law didn’t makeyourightwithGod,buthis agape love wassostrongthatitplannedawayoutforus; hemadeadecisionwaybackbeforetimewouldbeginandbeforetherewerehumanbeings on this planet to send his son Jesus into this world to save his creation because he seen afterhemadethem,thatthedevilwouldhavethemrebelandsin,andtherewasnomercy ordainedbeforetimebegan, thenhethought;‘’Iknow,’’‘’I’llsendJesusdowntoearthand getridofsinonceandforallbybecomingasinofferingfortheseweakhumanbeings,and takingtheirsinuponhisbody,andkillitonacrossonCalvaryandbysufferingwhatthey shouldhavesuffered.’’Thiswasandstillis agape love inaction! 21 22 But now God has shown us a different way to heaven not by “being good enough” and trying to keep his laws, but by a new way (though not new, really, for the Scriptures told about it long ago).

4 5 But didn’t he earn his right to heaven by all the good things he did? *‘’No,’’* for *being ‘saved’ is a gift;* if a person could earn it by being good, then it wouldn’t be free but it is! It is given to those who do not work for it. For ‘’God’’ *declares sinners to be good in his sight* if they have ‘’faith in Christ’’ to save them from ‘’God’s’’ wrath. Abraham was one of the greatest men in history, who lived for God, and he done many a greatthingbutdoingallthosegreatthingscouldn’tsavehimfromthewrathofGod,itwas because‘’God’s‘’agape love,’’ chosetoforgivehimhissinsbecause he believed God,and whathesaid!ThisisthereasonGodchosetoforgivehimhissins,==*becausehebelieved God,*andwhatdoesGodsaytoustodosothathecanforgiveusoursins. *Have faith in Jesus Christ!*

Romans 4 Living Bible (TLB)…. 1 2 Abraham was, humanly speaking, the founder of our Jewish nation. What were his experiences concerning this question of being saved by faith? Was it because of his good deeds that God accepted him? If so, then he would have something to boast about. But from ‘’God’s’’ point of view Abraham had no basis at all for pride. 3 For the Scriptures tell us ‘’Abraham believed God’’ and that is why God canceled his sins and declared him “not guilty.”

4 5 But didn’t he earn his right to heaven by all the good things he did? No, for being saved is a gift; if a person could earn it by being good, then it wouldn’t be free—but it is! It is given to those who do not work for it. No you, nor I, nor anyone in this world from the beginning until the end, for man will alwayssin,foritisintheirnaturefromoriginalsinuntiltheygetsaved,andgetridofthat sin; and to receive the new nature of Jesus Christ, to receive the agape love of God for themselvesthroughtheirreceivingthenewnatureofJesusandnewspiritinsalvation.

This is not something I hear very often about Gods agape love, that it is he ‘’God’’ that thoughtallofthisout,Ihearmoreof what Jesus did for us than I do of the plan of God, his plan was to use Jesus tobringustosalvationthroughhim,andnotthroughAlmighty God’splantouseJesustodoallthis.

In this humble act of God, he seems to distribute all glory to his divine son and not to himself;heseemstoshowerallthegloryuponJesus,andwhathedidforus.Butbehindthe truth it was all Gods plans, and we seem to leave out that everything was the plans and purposeofGod’s agape love tobringustohimselfthroughJesusbyconcentratingonwhat Jesusdone,notthatitwasAlmightyGod’splansto use Jesus asalivingsacrificetopayfor oursins,faults,andfailings.

1 John 4 Living Bible (TLB) 9 ‘’God showed how much he loved us’ by sending his only Son into this wicked world to bring to us eternal life through his death 10 In this act we see what ‘’real love is:’’ it is not our love for God but his love for us when he sent his Son to satisfy God’s anger against our sins.

11 Dear friends, since God loved us as much as that, we surely ought to love each other too. 12 For though we have never yet seen God, when we love each other God lives in us, and his love within us grows ever stronger 13 And he has put ‘’his own Holy Spirit’’ into our hearts as a proof to us that we are living with him and he with us. 14

And what is it that God has said? That ‘’he’’ has given ‘us’ ‘’eternal life’’ and ‘’that this life is in his Son.’’ 12 So whoever has God’s Son has life; whoever does not have his Son, does not have life. What is it that God has said? That it is ‘’he’’ ‘’God,’’ that *gives us eternal life,* and that this life is in his son Jesus, this is where God placed eternal life for us, his agape love placed eternal life in Jesus.

1 John 5 Living Bible (TLB)

1 John 5 Living Bible (TLB)

18 No one who has become part of God’s family makes a practice of sinning, for ‘’Christ,’’ ‘’God’s Son,’’ holds him securely, and *the devil *cannot* get his hands on him.* 19 We know that we are ‘’children of God’’ and that all the rest of the world around us is under Satan’s power and control.

We are not children of Satan the devil, nor of Jesus, butweare ‘’children of God,’’ and believe this or not, this is a mind changing result for us to examine; it changes our perspective of how we see the divine word before us. We see the agape love of God in actionallthetimewhenwereadthewordknowingwhatittrulysays. Inthisscripturesfewlines,weseethatweareapartof‘’God’s family,’’ itdoes not say we are part of Jesus family or the Holy Spirits family but only ‘’God the Fathers family’’ andittalksaboutusbelongingtoGodandnotbelongingtoJesus;itsayswehavebecome one spirit with and in Jesus. Scripture refers to us being his brothers and sisters.{Hebrews 2.}AndinthisshortscriptureittellsusthemostimportantnewsthatyouasaChristianwill ever hear, that because ‘’we are ‘in’ ‘Christ Jesus’’ ‘’we are held securely by Jesus’’ and that the devil*cannot* get hishands onusever,soneverworry aboutyoursalvation, for Jesus holds you securely in his hands and the devil cannot get his hands on you, ever, no matter what you do since coming to Christ Jesus for your spirit was changed forever and youbecomeonespiritwithhim I hear Christian Pastors saying that we can lose our salvation and I do not agree with them for this scripture and other scriptures tell us that the devil cannot get his hands on us for Jesus holds us securely; since our spirit changed at the instant of salvation and became ‘’one spirit’’ with ‘’his,’’ and there is no difference between your spirit and his, botharethesame, ‘’one spirit.’’

Scripture tells us that God poured our sins into Jesus== 2 Corinthians 5:21 Living Bible….For God took the sinless Christ and poured into him {‘’all’’} our sins. Then, in ‘’exchange, ’’hepoured‘’God’s goodness’’ ‘’into us!’’ [all}[mine]

Ask yourself a question here and that question is. ‘’Can Jesus go into his spirit where you are and rip you out of himself again, and then cast out of himself your ‘’old spirit’’ which ‘’died by the way,’’ so he has no spirit to castout except his own spirit to which you have becomeone.’’ If you were one glass of water and Jesus was another glass of water both taken from the samewell, andyouwerepouredintohis glassandfilled it nowtothebrim, couldanyone go into that mixed water and take your water out? No it would be impossible for it has becomethesamewaterinthatglass,itisjustwellwater!

You did not keep a hold of your old sin filled spirit but you received a brand new spirit’’=’’his’’ atthemomentyourepented,andaskedJesustobecomeonespiritwithyou’ when you asked him into your heart.

Both the one who makes people holyand those who are made holyare of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters. 12 He says, “I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters; in the assembly I will sing your praises.” 13 And again, “I will put my trust in him.” And again he says “Here am I, and the children ‘’God’ ‘has given me.”

14

Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death that is, the devil— 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fearof death. 16 For surely it is a ‘not angels’ he helps but Abraham’s descendants. 17 For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a mercifuland faithful high priestin service to God,and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. 18 Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

Youcouldsitwithjustthisscripturealonestudyingandponderingonitalldaylong,until you realized the wonder of it, and felt that agape love of God pour out upon you, for this word has life and the longer you dwell on these life words the more life you have coming intoyou,andthedevilcannotthenconvictyouofsin,foryouknowwithouta shadowofa doubt that ‘’all’’ your sins and I mean, ‘’all’’ your sins were poured into Jesus and in exchangeyouthenreceivedthe ‘’goodness of God’’ himself.

8 But when the ‘’Holy Spirit’’ has come upon you, you will receive ‘’power’’ to testify about me with great effect, to the people in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ‘’ends of the earth,’’ ‘’about my death and resurrection.”

Isee many testimonies of healings signs and wonders in others lives, never mind seeing them in my own. Through the ‘’power, ’’ and note the word ‘’power’’ of the ‘’Holy Spirit,’’ for I will come to it in a moment.

14 Still later he appeared to the eleven disciples as they were eating together. He rebuked them for their unbelief their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him alive from the dead.

Before we come to this part of the divine agape love of God let us go back a brief line or twoinanothertranslationandseewhatitisthatJesusactuallysaid.

Mark 16 Living Bible (TLB)

19

Jesus said, ‘you are to go into the entire world,’ and he knew before long many would be dead, killed by the Romans and by the Jews; so how many out of all his apostles survived for more than a few years after him to spread his word throughout the world; common sensetellsusthatthosewhoheardthegospeland ‘’believed’’ becamethenextgeneration of believers, notapostlesordisciplesbutbelieversthatGodusedtofurtherhisgospeland healthesickanddeliverfromdemonicpower.Thisisagain agape love inaction,Godusing us, and those who have heard us preach then go and share with others the divine word. Andsothemessageandpowerandauthoritypassdownthroughthegenerations. That man whom I watched on video claimed that the power of the gospel didn’t go along with speaking in tongues or healing the sick. Twothingsthebelieverswilldoaccording to Jesus. 17 “And ‘those’ ‘’who believe’’ shall use my authority to cast out demons, and they shall speak new languages.{tongues} 18 They will be able even to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them; and they will be able to place their hands on the sick and heal them.”

Is the gospel still being preached around the world, and is Jesus still saving souls, {‘’people,’’} yes he is; souls are being saved every day and if souls are being saved every day with this message, then the message must be spoken of in its entirety, we are the disciplesoftoday’sworld, every believer isadiscipleofChristJesusandindeed a brother or sister of Jesus moreimportantly.

When the Lord Jesus had finished talking with them, he was taken up into heaven and sat down at God’s right hand.

20 And the disciples went everywhere preaching, and the Lord was with them and confirmed what they said by the miracles that followed their messages.

Before Jesus laid hands on one sick person he first had to receive the power of the Holy Spirit, and as I just said, if he needed the Holy Spirit for he was as fully human as we are, then so do we; and this act is another sign of the agape love of God for us; to give us his own Holy Spirit, and to trust us with taking good care, and appreciation of him, and the HolySpiritisaperson,notabirdoranit!HeisthethirdpersonoftheHolyTrinityandisas muchofGodasthefatherandJesusistheyarethreeinone,andoneinthree.

He shall baptize you with the *Holy Spirit* and with ‘’fire.’’ 12 He will separate the chaff from the grain, burning the chaff with never ending fire and storing away the grain.”

Then Jesus went from Galilee to the Jordan River to be baptized there by John. 14 John didn’t want to do it.“This isn’t proper,” he said. “I am the one who needs to be baptized by you.”15 But Jesus said, “Please do it, for I must do all that is right.”[g] So then John baptized him.16 After his baptism, as soon as Jesus came up out of the water, the heavens were opened to him and he saw the ‘’Spirit of God’’ coming down in the form of a dove. 17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, and I am wonderfully pleased with him.”

Agape love gave us his Holy Spirit, a tremendous gift to human beings, a gift to be treasured and used; a gift too wonderful for words. Just think deeplyabout this.

Forgiveness of sins is a pure unadulterated sign of the agape love of our creator through the act of his divine son Jesus. Mercy and goodness following us is another act of agape love, grace and dwell in the presence of the lord is another act of agape love from our AlmightyfatherGod.

I have seen and experienced supernatural manifestations from God himself, and yet I still sin and miss the mark, but God covered these sins like he covered every other sin I committed before I came to him, but when I came to him I gave him my everything with nothing left out.

Isaiah 53 Living Bible (TLB) My righteous Servant shall make many to be counted righteous before God, for he shall bear all their sins. Through his righteous servant Jesus God used ‘’him,’’ not us, ‘’him,’’ to make us righteous before God, and he would always see us as the righteousness of God himself, for our righteousness is Jesushimself, what an agape love he has for us. Jesus bore all my sins, andforthatIwillbeeternallygratefulandfallonmykneesbeforehimatalltimeswhenI comebeforehimtoworshiphim.

The compassion of Jesus Luke 7 King James Version (KJV)

12

Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.

13

And when the Lord saw her, he had ‘’compassion’’ on her, and said unto her, Weep not.

14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.

15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother

The word here says he had compassion on her and the word ‘compassion’ meant ‘’agape love.’’ Jesusfeltthe agape love oftheHolySpiritcomingthroughhimandacteduponthis, ohthattodaywewouldfollowthe agape love oftheHolySpiritoperatingthroughuslike hedidwithJesus.

ToexplainsomethingthatmostChristiansdonotunderstandorknow; Jesus never healed anyone by his own power as God, no! He had to be baptized in the Holy Spirit at the Jordan by John the Baptist and as he was baptized the Holy Spirit came upon him, in the form of a dove.

Matthew 15:29-39 New King James Version (NKJV)

Jesus Heals Great Multitudes 29 Jesus departed from there, skirted the Sea of Galilee, and went up on the mountain and sat down there. 30 Then great multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at Jesus’ feet, and He healed them. 31 So the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking, the maimed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel

itdidn’tshockmetoseemyselfsittingupandatthesametimelayingdown forthe agape love ofGodwasuponme. Jesus heals great multitudes moved by the agape love of God for his people

As previously stated, Jesus never healed anyone by his own power as the son of God, but onlywhenheasahumanbeing,aman, wasbaptizedbyJohnattheJordanRiverwhenhe receivedtheHolySpirit;andthepurposeonhimreceivingtheHolySpiritwasbecausehe wanted us to see we need the Holy Spirit just as he did, and it is the same Holy Spirit thatwebothreceive,andnotassomeChristiansthink,adifferentHolySpirit.Thereisonly oneHolySpiritandJesus,andGodshareshimwithus,sothatwealsocouldgooutintothe entire world, lay hands on the sick and see the Spirit of God heal through us also. What a glorious God sharing his agape love for God gave us his own Holy Spirit, and that is agape love putintopractice. The love of God decided to give us the same power as Jesus receivedwhen he walked the earth, and we now being baptized in the same Holy Spirit do the same as Jesus, or as he said, ‘’even greater;’’ bythemiracleswedothroughtheHolySpiritspower,alongwiththe name of Jesus and by his authority now as fully God again, as he also gave the apostles in mark16. Mark 16 Living Bible (TLB) 14 Still later he appeared to the eleven disciples as they were eating together. He rebuked them for their unbelief their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him alive from the dead.

15 And then he told them, “You are to go into the entire world and preach the Good News to everyone, everywhere. 16 Those that believe and are baptized will be saved. But those who refuse to believe will be condemned.

Jesus said the believers; those who *believe* in other words, would do the signs and wondersthathedoneandevengreater,notjustapostlesordisciples John 14:12-13 Living Bible (TLB)

And the disciples went everywhere preaching, and the Lord was with them and confirmed what they said by the miracles that followed their messages. Jesus full of the Holy Spirit and full of his own power also appeared to the apostles and rebuked them for not believing those who had seen him, him, then he told them; those ‘’who believe,’’ ‘not just apostles or disciples’ but ‘’future believers,’’ not as the man I spokeaboutearlierdeceivingmanywhoclaimedthepowerofGodwouldstopwiththelast apostledying,andthattherewouldbe no more signs and wonders worked through us who believe. But Jesus said these very words, ‘’those who believe,’’ not just apostles or disciples, or just those who personally seen him. I never saw him except in visions, but neversawhimintheflesh,hisfleshImean,but I have had signs and wonders happening in my life and demons being cast out of people at the same time, contradictory to this man’sfalseteaching.

Ephesians 1 Living Bible (TLB)

Wheneveningcame, many who were demon possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick. 17 Thiswastofulfillwhatwas spokenthroughtheprophetIsaiah:“He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases.”

Long ago, even before he made the world, God chose us to be his very own through what Christ would do for us; he decided then to make us holy in his eyes, without a single fault we who stand before him covered with his love 5 His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by sending Jesus Christ to die for us. And he did this because he wanted to!

Hebrews 10 - 14 never changes it stays the same forever, no matter what anyone claims that you are a sinner or a backslider.
