The reason we love is that our lives
have come into touch with the great
fountainhead OF love. The incoming

animuting and controlling principle of
our lives. The one In whom love Is

Dual Love u. 2O).
The proof that one loves the unseen
God is that he loves the person visible
who bears the likeness and image OF
God and has become a member of the
same family through the redemption
In Christ Jesus. Love to God and man
Is united In the one breast Of the
Christian. The one who hates his
brother while pretending to love God
Is liar.
