And now abide faith, hope, love these three; but the greatest of these is love.
The word love in this verse is from the Greek word agapao, meaning unconditional love, love by choice and by an act of the will. Agapao will never seek anything but the highest good for mankind. It is an all-powerful love - undefeatable, unconquerable, and everlasting. There are no prerequisites for this love. This is the love Jesus spoke of when he addressed Nicodemus in John 3:16. On Sundays, now until Easter, we will study this love, the agapao love of God that brings eternal life to all who believe in His only begotten Son. God's power - made available to us - is the product of the gospel of His love.
