Agapistic ethics

Theological & Philosophical DictionaryTheological and Philosophical Dictionary
Stresses both love of God (one ought to obey His commandments) and love of neighbor (result of obedience to His command). We love God and man because He commands us or because God loves us and we ought to imitate Him. Evangelical agapistic ethics stresses the indwelling Christ through whom our acts reflect a supernatural love that is also always in obedience to biblical imperatives. Non-traditional agapistic ethics stresses that our love of God is expressed by loving our fellow man. Act agapism: do the most loving thing in each situation. Let love determine your obligation rather than rules. Rule agapism: follow rules that produce the most love.
