Jesus took Socrates to seven cities in Israel with His apostles. In every city, He ministered for hours. And every time Socrates asked what He was teaching, Jesus gave the same answer.

Love.

In this episode of Good News with Socrates, Bishop Socrates Charos builds an entire teaching around that one word. He walks through the four Greek words for love, Romans 5:5, the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22, and the new command Jesus gave in John 13:34 — love one another as I have loved you. Not storge, not eros, not philia. The agape love of God poured into your heart by the Holy Spirit.

This is the command. This is the mission. This is the whole gospel in one word.

In this episode:

- Jesus takes Socrates to seven cities in Israel with the apostles and teaches one thing: love

- The four Greek words for love: storge (family), eros (physical), philia (friendship), agape (spiritual)

- Romans 5:5: God's love poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit

- Galatians 5:22: the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control

- Without the Holy Spirit you can belong to a nice country club — with the Holy Spirit you are a Christian

- John 13:34: a new command I give you — love one another as I have loved you

- By this everyone will know you are my disciples: if you love one another

- The shofar blown over America: covering darkness, calling the rapture

- Love your family, your friends, your enemies — your job is to love, let God do the rest

- Closing commission: go out and love each other, because the love of God is already in you
