God's Agape Love: Love without boundaries.

 Here is a **scripture-saturated poem** celebrating God's *agape love*—the unconditional, sacrificial, eternal love that redefines existence:

### **"AGAPE: THE LOVE THAT SHATTERED NIGHT"**  

*A Hymn to Divine Love*  

**Before atoms spun or stars were lit,**  

**Before the Word carved out the pit**  

Of void and dark—*You were Love*.  

No need, no lack—all fullness wove  

**Your triune dance: Father, Spirit, Son—**  

*One God in love, ere time begun.*  

>*“God is love.”*  

>**—1 John 4:8**  

**Not sentiment—but action, fire!**  

**You saw us lost in sin’s dark mire,**  

*Yet chose the cross: the Lamb foreknown—*  

**Your heart laid bare, Your glory shown!**  

>*“God demonstrates His own love toward us:  

>While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”*  

>**—Romans 5:8**  

**No merit earned—no worth to claim,**  

**Rebels we stood, wrapped in shame.**  

*But Your love stormed hell’s iron gate:*  

**“I’ll bear their curse! I’ll take their fate!”**  

>*“This is love: not that we loved God,  

>but that He loved us and sent His Son  

>as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.”*  

>**—1 John 4:10**  

**Love that forgives when hatred screams,**  

**That turns the other, bears the seams**  

Of broken trust and piercing thorns—  

**Your mercy blooms where hope was mourned.**  

>*“Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you...  

>Then your reward will be great,  

>and you will be children of the Most High.”*  

>**—Luke 6:27,35**  

**Love that pursues—when we run far,**  

**That breaks the chains, removes the scar**  

Of orphan-fear—now sons and heirs!  

**Your covenant-cry: “My child! My share!”**  

>*“How great is the love the Father has lavished on us,  

>that we should be called children of God!  

>And that is what we are!”*  

>**—1 John 3:1**  

**Love that endures—when faith grows dim,**  

**That holds us fast—we cling to Him!**  

*No height, no depth, no power, no sword*  

**Can sever us from Christ our Lord!**  

>*“Neither death nor life... nor anything in all creation  

>will be able to separate us from the love of God  

>that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”*  

>**—Romans 8:38–39**  

**Love that commands: “Now love like Me—**  

**Lay down your life, set captives free!”**  

*Not human strength, but Spirit-wine:*  

**Your agape flows through this branch of Thine!**  

>*“We love because He first loved us.”*  

>**—1 John 4:19**  

**Till Kingdom come—and face to face,**  

**We’ll grasp Love’s depth, behold Love’s grace.**  

*No veil, no tear, no shadowed part—*  

**Just God is Love—and Love our heart!**  

>*“Now we see only a reflection, as in a mirror...  

>then we shall see face to face.  

>Now I know in part; then I shall know fully,  

>even as I am fully known.”*  

>**—1 Corinthians 13:12**
