Why is the word love one of the most mis-defined words used by the body of Christ and their shepherds? Christ, here, said, – “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life,” (John 3:16). Christ is saying God loves the world so much, He gave His son to be crucified so all people could have everlasting life. This is sacrificial love defined in the bible as agape love. Agape love is more than emotion, it is the nature of, or involving a deliberate choice to do for others what can include sacrifice, while performing or carrying out our duty to God. The Apostle John defined sacrificial love when he wrote, “This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins,” (1 John 4:10). John is saying the proof of God’s love is the atoning sacrifice of His son.
