Summer with AGAPAO
A guide to read the Scripture during summer
Agapao in Greek means I love you. Let me suggest a summer travel through the passages in which this word appears, in order to find the meaning of it. I gathered here almost all passages in which one can find that word.
The passages are divided into three categories:
- To be loved by God
- To love God
- To love others
I also grouped them and to each group prepared a few questions. There are dates for two months with breaks for the weekends 😉.
I encourage you to write down the answers. That helps to go deeper into the text. I also recommend to read the broader passage, that would help with finding better answers.
I wish you a great adventure. Ania Werwinski
