Agape (Old Greek ἀγάπη, agapē) is a Greco-Christian term alluding to cherish, "the most elevated type of adoration, noble cause" and "the affection for God for man and of man for God".

**The word isn't to be mistaken for philia, loving adoration, or philautia, self esteem, as it grasps an all inclusive, unqualified love that rises above and perseveres paying little heed to condition. It goes past simply the feelings to the degree of looking for the best for other people. The thing structure initially happens in the Septuagint, yet the action word structure goes as far back as Homer, deciphered in a real sense as fondness, as in "welcome with warmth" and "show friendship for the dead".

**Other antiquated creators have utilized types of the word to mean love of a mate or family, or love for a specific action, as opposed to eros (a love of a sexual sort).

Inside Christianity, agape is viewed as the affection starting from God or Christ for humankind.

**In the New Confirmation, it alludes to the pledge love of God for people, just as the human complementary love for God; the term fundamentally reaches out to the adoration for one's individual man. Some contemporary authors have looked to expand the utilization of agape into non-strict contexts.

**The idea of agape has been broadly analyzed inside its Christian context. It has likewise been considered with regards to other religions, strict ethics, and science.

A columnist in Time magazine portrays John 3:16 as "one of the most popular and notable Book of scriptures sections. It has been known as the 'Gospel more or less' in light of the fact that it is viewed as a synopsis of the focal conventions of Christianity."

**For God so cherished the world, that he gave his lone sired Child, that whosoever believeth in him ought not die, yet have never-ending life.

—  John 3:16, KJV

**The word agape got a more extensive use under later Christian scholars as the word that explicitly indicated Christian love or noble cause (1 Corinthians 13:1–8), or even God himself. The articulation "God is love" (ὁ θεὸς ἀγάπη ἐστίν) happens twice in the New Confirmation: 1 John 4:8,16. Agape was additionally utilized by the early Christians to allude to the benevolent love of God for humankind, which they were focused on responding and rehearsing towards God and among each other (see kenosis). This comprehension is based upon the basic Hebrew idea of Chesed, or the lovingkindness of God, which is instructed all through the Old Confirmation.

**Agape has been elucidated by numerous Christian authors in an explicitly Christian setting. C. S. Lewis utilizes agape in The Four Loves to portray what he accepts is the most elevated level of affection known to mankind: a benevolent love that is energetically dedicated to the prosperity of others.

**The Christian utilization of the term comes straightforwardly from the sanctioned Accounts' records of the lessons of Jesus. When asked what was the incredible rule, "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Ruler thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and incredible precept. Also, the second resembles unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two charges hang all the law and the prophets." (Matthew 22:37–40) In Judaism, the main "love the Ruler thy God" is important for the Shema (Leviticus 19:18), while the second "love neighbor as thyself" is a decree from Deuteronomy 6:5.

The Message on the Mount, Carl Bloch, 1877

In the Message on the Mount, Jesus stated:

You have heard that it was stated, 'You will cherish (agapēseis) your neighbor and disdain your foe.' Yet I state to you, Love (agapāte) your adversaries and appeal to God for the individuals who oppress you, so you might be children of your Dad who is in paradise; for he makes his sun ascend on the fiendishness and on the great, and sends downpour on the only and on the uncalled for. For in the event that you love the individuals who love you, what prize have you?

—  Matthew 5:43-46, RSV

Tertullian comments in his second century protection of Christians that Christian love pulled in agnostic notification: "What marks us according to our adversaries is our caring graciousness. 'Just look,' they state, 'look how they love each other' " (Conciliatory sentiment 39).

In the event that we could envision the adoration for one who cherishes men only for the wellbeing of their own, and not in view of any need or want of his own, simply wants their great, but adores them entirely, not for what as of now they are, but rather for what he realizes he can think about them since he made them, at that point we ought to have in our psyches some evident picture of the affection for the Dad and Maker of mankind.

In the New Confirmation, the word agape is frequently used to portray God's affection. Be that as it may, different types of the word are utilized in a negative setting, for example, the different types of the action word agapaō. Models include:

2 Timothy 4:10—"for Demas hath spurned me, having adored [agapēsas] this present world...".

John 12:43—"For they adored [ēgapēsan] the commendation of men more than the recognition of God."

John 3:19—"And this is the judgment, that light is appeared on the scene, and men adored [ēgapēsan] haziness as opposed to light, on the grounds that their deeds were underhanded."

Karl Barth recognizes agape from eros based on its starting point and unrestricted character. In agape, mankind doesn't only communicate its inclination, however rises above it. Agape relates to the interests of the neighbor "in absolute autonomy of the subject of his engaging quality" and with no desire for reciprocity.

The word agape is utilized in its plural structure (agapai) in the New Demonstration of depict a dinner or banquet eaten by early Christians, as in Jude 1:12 and second Subside 2:13. The agape love feast is as yet seen by numerous Christian sections today, particularly among Brethren and other Plain, Anabaptist chapels. For instance, among the Old Request Waterway Brethren and Old Brethren, an end of the week is as yet saved two times every year for exceptional gatherings, self assessment and a collective Love Dining experience as a component of their 3-section Fellowship recognition.
