  4. John 14:28bAGAPE Love

  5. “If” – EI; a 2nd class condition, (contrary-to-fact condition), “if and you do not”. The premise is untrue.

  6. AGAPAO ME,Imperfect, Active, Indicative, Second Person, Plural.“You all loved Me.”

  7. They have not AGAPE loved the Lord in the past which is causing them sorrow at this time.

  8. AGAPE love demands application of knowledge – Bible Doctrine. It is not based on relationship but on the mentality of the soul.

  9. There is no capacity to love because they do not have,

  10. There is no capacity to love because they do not have, 1) Maximum Doctrine in the Soul,

  11. There is no capacity to love because they do not have, 1) Maximum Doctrine in the Soul, 2) The Filling of the Holy Spirit = the Balance of Residency.

  12. CHAIRO - Aorist, Passive, Indicative, 2nd Person, Plural; “to rejoice, or be glad”, +H = Sharing the Happiness of God.

  13. Disciples of Christ should receive +H from seeing the plan of God advance.

  14. AGAPE LOVEEtymology of Love:

  15. AGAPE LOVEEtymology of Love: a. AGAPAO is the verb, and the noun is AGAPE.

  16. AGAPE LOVEEtymology of Love: a. AGAPAO is the verb, and the noun is AGAPE. b. PHILEO is the verb, and the noun is PHILOS.

  17. 2. AGAPAO is a special love, referring to the mentality of the soul where PHILEO love is more of the outward demonstration of affection based on the inward attitude of love.

  18. 3. AGAPAO is strictly a mental attitude and excludes emotion. Your emotions respond when you have AGAPE love, but it’s not based on your emotions.

  19. 4. AGAPAO means freedom from mental attitude sins, and a Relaxed Mental Attitude (RMA) towards its object.

  20. 5. It’s found in two areas:

  21. 5. It’s found in two areas: a. The filling of the Holy Spirit produces it, Rom 5:5; Gal 5:22.

  22. 5. It’s found in two areas: a. The filling of the Holy Spirit produces it, Rom 5:5; Gal 5:22. b. The third floor of the ECS produces it, 1 John 2:5; Col 3:14-17.

  23. 6. All believers are commanded to have AGAPE love. It produces the concepts of 1 Cor 13.

  24. 7. When disciples do not have God’s Word resident within their souls, it results in not sharing the Happiness of God.

  25. 8. All Christian love is distinctly a manifestation of divine love operating through the human heart.

  26. Rom 5:5, “. . . because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through (produced or caused by) the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”

  27. 9. This love is not the working of human affection; rather it is the direct manifestation of the “love of God”.

  28. 10. It is the realization of Christ’s priestly petition in John 17:26, “…so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”

  29. 11. It is simply God’s love working within and out through the believer.

  30. 12. This love can not be humanly produced or even successfully imitated because it goes out to the objects of divine affection and grace, rather than to the objects of human desire.

  31. 13. A human heart cannot produce divine love, but it can experience it.

  32. 14. It can only be found with the Word of God resident in your soul and the power of the filling of God the Holy Spirit operating in your heart.

  33. 1 John 2:5,“But whoever keeps (guards) His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected.”

  34. Jude 1:21,“Keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.”

  35. Mat 22:37,“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all of your mind.”

  36. James 1:12,“Blessed is the person who perseveres under testing, because when he becomes approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.”

  37. Eph 6:23-24,“Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love.”
