We are to have clearly
before our minds the fact that the ultimate object of all the
Divine dealings for us and with us, and the ultimate significance of
all the Divine promises made to us, is the development of love,
which is Godlikeness, for God is love. And to have this love
developed in us, in the sense and to the degree intended by the
Lord, it is necessary that it shall come from a pure heart,
in full accord with the Lord and His law of love, and wholly
antagonistic to the Adversary and his law of
selfishness. |
