What would a family look like if everyone practiced agape love?
A family practicing agape love would have all its members, all the way down to grandchildren and great-grandchildren, doing everything with the idea of bringing about the highest good for fellow family members. Teenagers would not be in the drug culture, drop out of school, or get into other trouble, because those things do not bring the family's highest good.
Les explains that agape love is defined as seeking the other person's highest good. He asks listeners to imagine a family where all members, all the way down to grandchildren and maybe even great-grandchildren, would do everything with the idea of bringing about the highest good for their fellow family members. In such a family, teenagers would not be in the drug culture because that does not bring about the family's highest good. They would not drop out of school, and they would not get into other kinds of trouble, nor would any segment of life. Les acknowledges it is impossible for a whole community, but says it would be great to live in such a family.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
