Christian Love


Core value of the Christian faith. Agape (‘selfless love’) is the most spiritual of the four aspects of love recognized by the Greeks. Christians also include charity, tolerance, and respect within the term. Love is central to the two greatest commandments given by Jesus to his followers in Matthew 22:37–40: to love God and to love one's neighbour. Christians believe that through agape, God's love reaches the world.

St Paul's description of the nature of agape can be found in 1 Corinthians 13:4–7:

‘Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or conceited or proud; love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable; love does not keep a record of wrongs; love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth. Love never gives up; and its faith, hope, and patience never fail.’
