The love of God should control all of our activities. The love God has for me should constrain me. You know the Christian ethic is based on love. The reason we serve Christ is not just because we are duty-bound, but because we love Him. If you want to advance in holiness then you ought to advance in love, for when love for God advances, holiness will also advance.
Christian ethics is based upon love.
Paul says, The love of Christ controls me. Oh may God grant us grace that the love Christ has for us may control us. We must emulate God s love and display it toward others. People will know that we are Christ s disciples because we love one another. The most appropriate way to respond to God s love is to love Him greatly.
