Nevertheless there is a true sense in which Gospel morality is founded on love far more than Torah morality which without extending love, concentrated on the fear of God. The implications of this difference are a study all by itself. For the present, it is enough to note that the Incarnation makes a world of difference in the hidden wellsprings of human conduct. Once a person believes that God, who is Love, became man to prove how much He loves us, his conduct will be deeply affected. He will want to show his love for God in return, and this in turn will draw on his affections in a way that people before the Incarnation could not be inspired to behave.
Generosity is a fluid term.
It means kindness and benevolence, friendship and liberality. But when applied to Gospel morality it is especially self-giving. Not until God became man in the Person of Christ did the world even conceive the kind of generosity that Christ revealed in His life and revealed perfectly on the Cross. This leads us to a quality of Gospel morality that cannot be exaggerated. It is Christ-centered morality.
