God commands believers to have agape love, which is unconditional love for others regardless of how they feel. The two other types of love are eros, which is selfish desire based on physical attraction, and philos, which is love based on reciprocity where the love ends if the other person doesn't reciprocate. As believers, Christians must show agape love to both other believers and non-believers so that everyone experiences God's unconditional love, which will drive out fear. They should add "and so do I" when saying "Jesus loves you" to share God's love with others.

John MacArthur, “Agape love is the greatest virtue of the Christian life. Yet that type of love was rare in pagan Greek literature. That’s because the traits agape portrays—unselfishness, self-giving, willful devotion, concern for the welfare of others—were mostly disdained in ancient Greek culture as signs of weakness. However, the ew Testament declares agape to be the character trait around which
all others revolve. The apostle John writes, “God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him” (1 John 4:16).

Impermeabilización y Protección del Concreto SA , sociedad anónima establecida en Colombia en enero de
1994 con el propósito exclusivo de desarrollar la licencia de fabricación, distribución y soporte técnico del
sistema por cristalización en el país.
Desde su iniciación CIP SA ha fortalecido la imagen de XYPEX en Colombia debido a su sistema
responsable y técnico de asesoría y capacitación a sus clientes, distribuidores y aplicadores autorizados
XYPEX se ha utilizado en Colombia en cientos de proyecto en forma exitosa, convirtiéndose en alternativa
de solución de problemas de impermeabilización, reparación y rehabilitación de estructuras de concreto en
forma rápida, efectiva y a bajo costo, debido a su tecnología avanzada
En miles de hogares la ciencia de XYPEX ha solucionado problemas de goteras y humedades imposibles
de arreglar anteriormente
¿COMO FUNCIONA XYPEX?
Los PRODUCTOS IMPERMEABILIZANTES POR CRISTALIZACION XYPEX, son desarrollos realizados exclusivamente en Canadá, con una tecnología propia, especial y completa y diferente de cualquier otro tipo de producto impermeabilizante, tal como lo especifican todos los detalles técnicos y las comprobaciones de laboratorio que más adelante se explican.
Todos los empaques Xypex indican su procedencia exclusiva. y son compuestos de polvo seco, constituidos por cemento Portland, arena silícea y varios químicos muy activos que, al ser aplicados en forma de revestimiento pastoso (lechada) al concreto, dan lugar a una reacción catalítica en los poros y en los conductos capilares del substrato del concreto. Esta reacción genera el crecimiento de cristales fibrosos no soluble, que se desarrollan internamente en el concreto al cuál se aplica, los cuales sellan herméticamente la penetración de agua, (u otros líquidos) en cualquier dirección.
Para crear su efecto impermeabilizante por cristalización, Xypex llega a formar parte integral de la masa de concreto. Toma ventaja de las características naturales e inherentes del concreto: el concreto es un compuesto poroso y químico. Por medio del proceso químico de difusión los reactivos de Xypex usan el agua como un medio de migración y penetración en los tractos capilares del concreto. Este proceso precipita una reacción química entre Xypex, la humedad y los productos químicos provenientes de la hidratación del cemento ( sales minerales, hidróxidos de calcio, óxidos minerales y partículas no hidratadas del cemento). El resultado es la producción de una estructura de cristales químicos, no solubles que taponan los poros y tractos capilares del concreto. En dichas condiciones los poros son sellados y el concreto se vuelve impenetrable por el agua y cualquier otro líquido en cualquier dirección. El proceso cristalino Xypex se reactiva siempre que el agua está presente.
A look into the Biblical passages that focus on "one another". This is a reflection tool to help you understand the context of your relationships as well as review God's call for us to like together.
In this Sunday’s Gospel we hear the three most important words given to us in the Bible. By far, it is the greatest and hardest thing Christ asked us to do...but truly…it is all that really, really matters.
What are those words…and why do we find it so hard to follow them?
Check it out….
The church is the mother of believers--the God-ordained school of virtue in which Christian disciples learn how to desire the good and to reject what is false. Romans 12:9ff outlines covenant life in the congregation.
This is the second of a series of presentations about the development of Christian character, based on a study of the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23. The presentation was prepared by Dr Kevin Smith, Vice-Principal of the South African Theological Seminary.

1. An Unconditional Love
Marla A. Matime
When we think of love, we often refer to the feelings that we experience in
different situations involving another individual or individuals. The Bible
mentions three specific types of love that we experience within ourselves, with
others, and ultimately with Him. The two forms of love that many experience
at any given moment in the day are those of Eros which is a desire and longing
for someone or something and Philos, which is the kind of love that is
expressed towards a companion or a friend. The last form of love that God
commands of all believers is that of Agape love which is the divine love of the
Father towards his son Jesus Christ, humans, and non-believers.
1 John 4: 17-19
“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do
with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the Day of
Judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world. There is no fear in
love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the
one who fears is not perfected in love. We love, because He first loved us.”
Agape love, being the strongest and self-less form of love, is never determined
by feelings.
The first two types of love that we tend to share is based solely on feeling with
Eros love being more selfish, sexual and erotic, based on the attraction of
physical traits and ultimately, this form seeks to conquer and control. Philos,
2. isn’t selfish; however, the ideal of this form of love is basically, I will love you
and do things for you because you have done or will do those things and much
more for me. If, or when, one person in the friendship or relationship gets
tired, feels slighted or anything else that could cause a rift in the relationship,
the love grows cold, sour and can come to an abrupt end. In Luke chapter 6
and verse 32 we are told that "If you love those who love you, what credit is
that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.”
As believers, we must know that because God shows us his unadulterated love
daily, we must show the same love towards our brothers and sisters in Christ
and show love towards non-believers, because they probably never get an
opportunity to experience what love feels like since they have never been
introduced to the love God has for them. We must be that beacon of light and
hope for them to know that they are loved and that there is one true God who
loves them and wants them to experience the blessings that he has for them.
1 Thessalonians 4:9
But we don't need to write to you about the importance of loving each other, for
God himself has taught you to love one another.
If you have ever been somewhere and heard someone say, “Jesus loves you,” I
challenge you to add, “and so do I” to the end of that phrase. The more you
practice putting Jesus first and then expressing your love towards your brother
or sister (whether believer or not) you will grow into being filled with the Agape
love that God commands for us to express and share.
May you and yours be blessed with this message of love.
