HESED/AGAPE/LOVE is GOD . . . Love is a person. Therefore, citizens of the Kingdom of God – those who’ve been redeemed, reborn and reconciled unto the Family of God, with all rights and privileges restored as co-heirs of the inheritance by the blood of YESHUA/JESUS, in the power of the Holy Spirit, to the honor, praise and glory of YHWH (with inserted vowels YAHWEH transliterated JEHOVAH and commonly interpreted the LORD) partake of relationship with Him from a position of devotion and reverence as opposed to fear and retribution. The Christian’s – sons & daughters of God the Father by the redemptive work of Christ Jesus, in transformation via ongoing renewal of the soul (intellect, will, emotion) by God’s Word through the Teaching of the Holy Spirit, have revelation that our “fear of the LORD” is from a position of profound reverence as opposed to retribution (in regard to punishment) whereas recompense (in regard to restoration) we joyfully receive of God. However, manifestation of the things of God “on earth as it is in Heaven” Luke 11:2 (NKJV), requires the God-kind of faith as well as the God-kind of love, both bestowed to sons & daughters of God. That is, the measure of faith is powered by unconditional love/divine love or agape. This God-kind of love or HESED represents God’s love for humans, and our reciprocal love for the One in whose image we were created. Therefore, in the same way that we exercise our own faith for its growth/development, it’s imperative that we also exercise agape via agapao for its growth/development. For those rendered sons & daughters of Abba Father by the finished work of Christ Jesus have a new commandment. (And) called to build up others, we are enabled or empowered to do so while giving evidence of the good fruit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control, by God’s mighty power within each of us “in Him” who is the Vine.
