Love Is An Action

“What does it mean to love someone? To most people love is a feeling, an emotion. But the Greek word agapao (or agape) refers not to a feeling but to an action. To love (agapao) is to will the good of another….Will their good and demonstrate in action.”~James Bryan Smith.  When we love each other God’s way, it can be seen in our actions toward each other.

Agape-Style Love Is Active

One of the words for love, in the Bible, is “agape”.  This form of love is active.  It does something.  It serves others and cares for others in tangible ways.  “Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.”  1 John 3:18
