AGAPE | Abounding in Love Series | Bethel AG Church | Rev. Johnson V | 04th October 2026

What is love, and what does the Bible really say about love? In this opening message of the Abounding in Love series, Rev. Johnson V teaches from 1 Corinthians 13 and 1 Thessalonians chapter 3 that agape love, God's unconditional love, means choosing another person's real good, whether or not they deserve it or return it. With agape love explained simply and practically, we are invited to receive God's love through the Holy Spirit and let it lead us into holiness and shape every relationship in our lives.

This Sunday sermon explores what the Holy Bible says about love and relationships, starting from the truth that God is love. Rev. Johnson V shows how 1 Corinthians 13 places love above spiritual gifts, faith, knowledge, and sacrifice, and walks through the Greek words for love (agape, philia, storge, and eros) to explain why the Bible defines love in so many different ways. Drawing from Bible verses in Romans chapter 5 and Mark chapter 12, this Bible study looks at the teachings of God on love, the difference between liking and loving, and why love is a choice, not just a feeling. It is a practical look at love in the Bible and at how God's love, poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, produces holiness, obedience, and Christlike living in marriage, family, friendships, work, and even toward difficult people.

Rooted in Jesus' teachings on the greatest commandment, this preaching reminds us of what Jesus says: love the Lord your God with all your heart, and love your neighbor as yourself. If you are looking for the Bible explained in a way you can live out, or for Christian motivation when your love has run dry, this sermon shows how the Bible actually teaches us about love, not as a feeling to wait for but as a gift to receive and a choice to live out every day. The message closes in prayer as we say, come, Holy Spirit, fill us with your love. Recorded at the Sunday church service at Bethel AG Church, Hebbal, it is part of the Abounding in Love series on what the Bible says about love.
