Jesus used 'agape' love when He uttered "love one another as I have loved you'' to describe what he knew was the highest level of love known to humanity – a selfless love, a love that was passionately committed to the well-being of the other. Agape love as modeled by Christ is not based on a feeling; rather, it is a determined act of the will, a joyful resolve to put the welfare of others above our own.This is how followers of Christ know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters” (1 John 3:16). Because of God’s love toward us, followers of Christ are able to love one another.
