Epic Journey Podcast #13 – Love Different – Episode Notes
Gods agape and unconditional love will impact your marriage in supernatural ways.

Tapping into the supernatural comes only through your relationship with Jesus Christ. The supernatural is unavailable to you without your relationship of faith.
In Greek, eros is romantic love.
And Philos is a friendship love, and in the bible was expressed as a devotion to one another, brotherly love.
In eros, lovers are preoccupied with each other, but friends are preoccupied with the same thing, interests in common.
Christianity.com states this about agape love:
“Agape love is unconcerned with the self and concerned with the greatest good of another.
Agape isn’t born out of emotions, feelings, familiarity, or attraction, but from the will and as a choice.
We have the free will to choose a relationship with God which makes Gods agape love available to work through us.
Agape requires faithfulness, commitment, and sacrifice without expecting anything in return.”

His love is not natural, it’s supernatural.
1 John 3:23-24
23 Now this is His command: that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another as he commanded us.
24 The one who keeps his commands remains in Him, and he in Him. And the way we know that He remains in us is from the Spirit he has given us.
His command is two-fold here: believe in Christ and love one another. It’s a command to those who believe in Christ, so it truly is an act that is tied to our faith.
If you are a believer, then you are expected to love others God’s way, not your way, not the worlds way. As a believer, you have access to His agape love in order to pass it to others. Scripture says when you keep His commands, when you’re obedient to what God tells you to do, there is unity with God and the...
