What does the Bible say about true godly love?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that true godly love, or agape love, is a divine love given by the Holy Spirit that seeks to glorify God and promote the well-being of others.

True godly love, which is often referred to as agape love, is a divine love that none possess naturally. According to Romans 12:9-13, it is motivated by a desire to glorify God and establish unity among believers. This love is genuine, sincere, and seeks the best for all people, particularly fellow believers in Christ. It acknowledges the worthiness of God's glory and emphasizes love for God and the brethren above all else. The Holy Spirit imparts this love in the hearts of those whom God has chosen, demonstrating that it is not something we earn but a gift that flows from our salvation through Christ.
