This sermon lists the 15 facets of God’s agape love that are outlined in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. This quick survey of the passage using both Greek definitions of keywords and a variety of Bible versions demonstrates that the demands of this love are impossible to fulfill! In actuality, the description of love by Paul is the same love that Moses witnessed when he met with God on the mountain in Exodus 34. Paul asserts that this level of loving is what is expected of members of the Body of Christ. It is only through the power of God that this can ever become a reality—already fulfilled through Christ who represents the believer, and still in progress by the power of the Holy Spirit who dwells in every believer.
