From what I understand, Agape Love is total 100% unconditional love. As seen in God's Grace, Ephesians 2:8-9.

Yeah we all have a ways to go, Thank God that Jesus has been made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. He is our righteousness, if these were the requirements to make heaven, we would be in a heap of trouble. Same with the Law, it wasn't written for us to keep, the law was written to magnify sin, not to make us holy, or righteous, but to show us that we needed a savior.

God deserves all the glory. When and if I do any of these things, it is because He convicts me to do them. I am just walking in what He has ordained. Any good that comes out of me is because of Him. I will never be perfect and Christ-like until I lose this flesh.
