The New Life. and the Church, and the world, see in you one with * whom ' love is greatest ; ' ' one in whom the love of God has a full dwelling, a free working. / Christian, God is love. Jesus is the gift of this love, to bring love to you, to transplant you into that life of God-like love. ( Live in that faith, and you shall not complain that you have no power to love : the love of the Spirit shall be your power and your life. Beloved Saviour, I discern more clearly that the whole of the new life is a life in love. Thou Thyself art the Son of God's love, the gift of His love, come to introduce us into His love, and give us a dwelling there. And the Holy Spirit is given to shed abroad the love of God in our hearts, to open a spring out of which shall stream love to Thee, and to the brethren, and to all mankind. Lord, here am I, one redeemed by love, to live for it, and in its might to love all. Amen. 1. Those who reject the word of God sometimes say that it is of no moment what we believe, if we but have love, and so they are lor making love the one condition of salvation. In their zeal against this view, the orthodox party have sometimes presented faith in justification, as if love were not of so much importance. This is likely to be very dangerous. God is love. His Son is the gift, the bringer, of His love to us. The Spirit sheds abroad the love of God in the heart. The New I,ife is a life in love. Love is the greatest thing. Iêt it be the chief element in our life : true love, that, namely, which is known in the keeping of God's commandments. (See i John iii. lo, 23, 24, v. 2) 2. Do not wonder that I have said to you that you must love, although you do not feel the least love. Not the feeling, but the twill is your jMiwer : it is not in your feeling, but in faith, that 80
: Love. the Spirit in you is the power of your will to work in you all that the Father bids you, Therefore, although you feel absolutely no love to your enemy, say in the obedience of faith Father, I love him ; in faith in the hidden working of the Spirit in my heart, I do love him. 3. Pray, think not that this is love, if you wish no evil to any one, or if you should be willing to help, if he were in need. No: love is much more : love is love. Love is the disposition with which God addressed you when you were His enemy, and afterwards ran to you with tender longing to bless you. 6 Si
