Love – God and God’s Love by C. H. Dodd

Agape (love or charity) is energetic and beneficent good will which stops at nothing to secure the good of the beloved object. It is not principally an emotion or an affection; it is primarily an active determination of the will. That is why it can be commanded as feeling cannot.
