(August 29, 2014 at 12:03 pm)Michael Wrote: Love in the Gospel can also be read as showing charity, or to welcome (the 'agape' love that in the passage quoted would be a welcoming love). Love in Christianity is usually seen as a movement of the will, towards an action, and not an emotion.

Works and deeds is usually used for actions but you may be right.

Is reciprocity a part of love or can it be just one way?

Can anyone love God if he is not about to return that love by accepting and returning works and deeds?
