The message defines agape as a "love that takes no account of wrong" and explains that this is the same love Christ had for us, laying down His life for His enemies. The discussion challenges the listener to understand that true marital love is a reflection of Christ's love for the church, which is not about demanding rights or being a bully. The speaker uses personal anecdotes to illustrate how focusing on our own bitterness and unfaithfulness prevents us from experiencing and sharing this unconditional love. The talk also includes a discussion about a wife's role, highlighting that a wife's love and submission is also rooted in her own walk with God and a revelation of His agape love, not just her husband's actions. The video concludes by challenging the listener to choose agape love, which is the only way to heal a marriage.---- The antidote to the fear of man is a revelation of the agape love of God.- Agape is a love that takes no account of wrong and loves regardless of circumstances.- The fear of man is the opposite of agape love and is rooted in selfishness.- The love we have for our spouse should be the same kind of love that Christ has for us.- God's love for us is not based on our actions, but is a free gift given to us while we were still His enemies.- Forgiveness is a choice we make, and we must extend grace to others just as Christ has done for us.- A wife's submission and love for her husband must come from her own walk with God and her own experience of His agape love.- It's not about being righteous or perfect, but about being filled with the Holy Spirit so that His love can be poured out through us.---The video concludes by asserting that the Bible talks about a husband's responsibility and his duty to lay down his life for his wife, not about his rights to rule over her. A husband's true headship is an act of loving service and protection, as exemplified by Christ. The ultimate takeaway is that the only true way to heal a marriage that is broken by fear and selfishness is through a revelation of the unconditional agape love of God.---#FearOfMan #Marriage #BiblicalInterpretation #DrMichaelDavis #Theology #AgapeLove #UnconditionalLove #ForgivenessAlive Inc LinksWebsite: https://www.keytorevival.org/The International Ministerial Institute: https://www.keytorevival.org/imi/Your Face, O Lord, I Shall Seek (and other resources): https://www.keytorevival.org/alive/resources/Order Resources: https://www.keytorevival.org/alive/order/Fear of man, being concerned for what people think of you more than what God thinks of you, is a hidden and destructive virus to any marriage.
