Transformational Love

All that God is doing in our lives is not complete without transformational love.  This is God's love, agape love, the divine love implanted in the heart of every Christian by the Holy Spirit (Rom. 5:5).  This is the love that, while being discerning, knows no limits and has no conditions.  This is the love that is at the very heart of God (1 John 4:8, "God is agape").  This love is:  (1) the ultimate mark of true believers in Christ (John 13:34-35), (2) the manifestation of being filled with the Holy Spirit (Gal. 5:22), and (3)that which enables us to build lasting relationships with each other in our churches by showing us how to get along with each other (Rom. 12:9-21).
