“God is love.” — 1 John 4:8
“By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us…” — 1 John 3:16
Agapē is the love God always reveals, demonstrates, and shows; Christ models; and believers are commanded to live out toward one another.
Love among believers is not optional—it is a defining mark of discipleship.
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you…” — John 13:34–35
“Let brotherly love continue.” — Hebrews 13:1
Jesus grounds our love for one another in His own sacrificial love.
True agapē love is the fruit of being born of God, not mere human effort.
“Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.” — 1 John 4:7
“Love one another earnestly from a pure heart, since you have been born again…” — 1 Peter 1:22–23
Because believers share the same new life in Christ, agapē binds them together.
Biblical love is demonstrated, not merely spoken.
“Let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.” — 1 John 3:18
“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” — Galatians 6:2
Agapē willingly bears cost for the good of others.
Love is the spiritual glue that holds the church together.
“Eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” — Ephesians 4:2–3
“Above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.” — Colossians 3:14
Without love, unity fractures—even when doctrine is correct.
Agapē responds to sin and weakness with mercy, not retaliation.
“Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.” — 1 Peter 4:8
“Be kind to one another… forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” — Ephesians 4:32
This does not excuse sin—but seeks restoration.
Love outlasts gifts, knowledge, and earthly accomplishments.
“So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” — 1 Corinthians 13:13
“If I have all faith… but have not love, I am nothing.” — 1 Corinthians 13:2
Agapē is the measure of spiritual maturity.
Our love for fellow believers becomes a testimony to unbelievers.
“By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” — John 13:35
“We love because he first loved us.” — 1 John 4:19
The church shines brightest when it loves deeply.
SAFE AM I
SONG DEVOTIONAL
Beloved, no matter what battles we face, the child of God is ETERNALLY safe and secure in Jesus’ RIGHTEOUS agape love. Though we live in a fallen world, face opposition from sinful man, and experience the attacks of Satan and his hosts, our ETERNAL Shepherd will never leave us. O dear friend, how wonderful is that blessed truth! Jesus’ agape love is ETERNALLY stronger than every fear, His ETERNAL promises never fail, and nothing in all ETERNITY can EVER separate us from the ETERNAL agape love of God found in Jesus our precious Lord. Do you believe that, dear friend, or are you doubting, insecure, and lost in fear's maze?
This song, beloved, is a declaration of one’s personal faith in Jesus’ abiding ETERNAL security. This song is a song of a believer’s ETERNAL hope and stability, and rather than giving in to the fears and dreads of this age, the child and pilgrim of God chooses by faith to trust in the Lord and rest in His ETERNAL promises and security. The God who ETERNALLY saved us is the God who ETERNALLY keeps us. Our precious Jesus goes before us, walks beside us, strengthens us in every trial, and will one day bring us safely into His glorious presence. Because of our Shepherd's unfailing ETERNAL agape love, we can confidently say, while in the valleys of the shadows of death, "Safe am I." ”Safe am I!”

IN THE PRESENCE OF THEIR KING!
SONG DEVOTIONAL
Beloved, the day is coming when our precious Lord Jesus Christ will reign as King over all the earth for a thousand years in truth and RIGHTEOUSNESS. Every promise our Heavenly Father has ever spoken concerning His Son will be fulfilled exactly as He has declared during this time. Israel will indeed know her Messiah, at this time after centuries of rebellion, and the redeemed remnant of the gentile nations will come up to Jerusalem to worship the King of the Jews! It will be the Fulfillment of the Feast of Tabernacles as Jew and Gentiles worship in Spirit and Truth before the LORD (Zech. 14)!
During Jesus' glorious Kingdom reign, His peace will replace war, His RIGHTEOUSNESS will fill the earth, and the people of every nation will seek the wisdom and ways of the Lord. Songs of praise will rise continually to our great King, for the Lamb who was slain is absolutely worthy to receive all honor, glory, and praise now and FOREVER, amen.
What a joyful day that will be! Every sorrow will give way to rejoicing as God's Kingdom is established just as the Scriptures have promised. The King of kings will dwell among His people, and the earth will indeed behold His wonders and His glory.
Can you see it by faith, beloved? Our ETERNAL hope is ETERNALLY certain because our Heavenly Father will always keep His Word. One day we will stand in the presence of our King, in our new glorified bodies as His glorified church! Singing with overflowing joy to our precious Lamb and reigning with Him for a thousand years! O the wonders of the precious truths and promises of our Jesus; they are glorious, marvellous to the ear that will hear! Even so come Lord Jesus!

REFLECTION QUESTIONS
1. Am I living faithfully today in light of Jesus' coming Kingdom?
2. How does knowing that Jesus will one day reign for a thousand years encourage me through life's present trials?
3. Who, in light of our global last days world, do I know that I can share the hope of our coming King with today?
PRAYER
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the ETERNAL hope of Your Son's coming Kingdom. Thank You that every promise You have ever spoken will be completely fulfilled, and that one day Jesus Christ will reign in perfect RIGHTEOUSNESS over all the earth for a thousand years.
Help me, dear Lord, to live each day with my eyes fixed upon that glorious future. Fill my heart with joy as I look forward to standing in the presence of my King and joining the songs of praise that will rise to the Lamb FOREVER.
I ask these things in Your precious name of Jesus; even so come, Amen.
During this 1000-year period, the Lord Jesus (Christ/ Messiah) will rule and reign as the RIGHTEOUS Despot over the nations of the world with an iron rod of RIGHTEOUSNESS (Psalm 96; Isa. 9:7, Jer. 23: 5-8; 33:14-16). His reign will take place from Jerusalem, and Israel will be His chief nation of blessing to all nations that are left (Isa. 11:1-10; Micah 4:1-4; Zech. 8:21-23; 14:9, 16-21). The Messiah will wield an iron rod of RIGHTEOUSNESS and rule the nations with justice and righteous judgment, and peace shall reign from sea to sea (Isa. 9:6-7; 11; 26:1-3; 66:12, Hab. 2:14; Rev. 19:15). Under the Messiah's reign will be pure joy as Almighty God’s curse on the earth shall be removed, and the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God will be fully implemented and enjoyed. Righteousness shall reign, and abundant peace, life, blessing, prosperity, and joy will EXPONENTIALLY increase and dominate this period until... the end (Isa. 11:1-10; 61:11, Rev. 20:7-15). There will be no more war, and Jew and gentle will abide in peace under Messiah's reign (Isa. 2:4; Micah 4:3).
The day in which we are living is fluctuating (changing) at a “breakneck” speed. Multitudes are being deluged and overwhelmed by this “world of information” which has developed EXPONENTIALLY. In these dark days, may it be your sincere desire to place your sole trust in the One who is ETERNALLY trustworthy and unmovable. Only in the Messiah is our hope. May you find your hope in Him alone.
2000 years ago, God sent His Son to pay the price for our trespasses and to deliver us from this present fallen world (John 3:16-17, Gal. 1:4). God the Father sent His Son not to judge us but to deliver us from our ruin (Romans 7:24-25). Jesus came to earth to SAVE and DELIVER the damned from ruin and ETERNAL judgment. It is when we reject His saving grace that in the end He becomes our Judge (Rev. 20:11-15).
And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. (Mark 1:17)
