Agape is the self-sacrificing love of Jesus that Christians are to imitate, and eros is a more physical, sexually, lust driven sort of love. In todays world eros is the type of love that the world puts on a pedestal, we can see that particularly in advertising, Hollywood films and the music industry. People who practice agape love, especially if they do it for their own family, are often seen as idealists or outright stupid. Agape demands denial of self and that is what especially in marriage a lot of people are no longer prepared to do. But this is exactly what God expects christian couples to do for each other. Through thick and thin, for better or for worse.Rebeccanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3454355557116314654.post-54541626276609633652013-03-01T08:51:13.589-07:002013-03-01T08:51:13.589-07:00@Latravia, agape is translated into English as lov...@Latravia, agape is translated into English as love but its true meaning is a pure, higher love. Agape love is often used as a distinct type of love differnt from general love. Maybe you should brush up on your classics.
