Agape is a term referring to love, "the highest form of love, charity" and "the love of God for man and of man for God". 

Skin the thin layer of tissue forming the natural outer covering of the body of a person or animal:

There are 29 verses in the Bible about skin. 

Do we ever just think of skin? What is it? What is it’s purpose?? Did you know that our skin is made up of 60 percent water 💦...

When this curious word came to us to study? I thought Skin what an odd thing to study when this is a Bible word study.  

And then my mind went in many different directions. Skin is amazing as it protects and holds all things together for a greater purpose.. human life.

I thought of the ones who have suffered from skin issues. In Biblical times many suffered from a skin diseased know as leprosy they were cast away and treated unkindly?  It is written Jesus healed them from their own internal prison.  

Unfortunately, there are times even today. That some treat others as though they have this dreaded illness. Which brings such heartfelt pain.

I do believe skin is skin it may carry different pigmentation but at the end of the day, it’s still skin. Making all mankind the same yet uniquely different.

And then there are many quotes about skin.. but the one that stands out the most in my mind is a quote from renowned investor Warren Buffett “Skin in the game.” 

Which clearly points are you all in? Will you stand strong and take the risk? So we must ask ourselves when it comes to our Heavenly Father, Yeshua, and the Holy Spirit are we all in? Do we have our “skin in the game” of life? 

Or do we give our Creator one day a week? One devotion per day? Or one closing prayer at night? 

Each of us will have different degrees of skin in the game? 

10%, 50%, 75% or 100%..let’s be real honest? Only you and our Creator knows the answer.

I do know from reading His word the 3N1 has 100% of Skin in the Game. He has proven it time and time again. 

It’s Him, it’s always Him 

"Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires, but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires." Romans 8:5, NIV: 

“My bone clings to my skin and my flesh, And I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth. Job 19:20
