As born again Christians, Jesus Christ has permanent residence in our hearts. Because of this, we should strive to be rooted and grounded in agape love every day. Agape love is God’s kind of love that doesn’t look for anything in return. Faith will not operate the way it should in our lives unless we operate in God’s agape love.

That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love… Ephesians 3:17 (NKJV)
