If
you are a faithful pupil (in the school of Christ), it
will not be long until you see that the perfect law of
liberty, the law of Christ, is a discerner of the very
thoughts and intents of the heart, and that while you
must hate all sin, you cannot hate any sinner, and yet have the love
of God perfected in your heart. If even so much as a
bitter feeling against our traducers and maligners
arise, it is to be fought, and so complete a victory
gained over it that every fiber of our beings will be in
sweet accord with our Great Teacher’s instructions, “Love
your enemies. Pray for them which despitefully use you and
persecute you. Bless and injure not. |
