Because COD IS love II John
4:0) lie desires man perfect love
toward Him. Because the essence
OF HIS beng IS love, lie loves US,
and enables us to love HIM.
There is more here than a COM
mandment or the performing of
duty. There is the recognition OF
controlling prlnclPle OF all lie. In a
day OF multiplication OF powerful
machines and organizations, when
man is power conscious IN an I'M
usual way, 1t IS well to recall that
the greatest power IN all the world
is the power OF love.
Then let us rot forget that all
true love should rest upon fellow

nis) said, IN the second century, that
the enemies of Christianity sand OF
the Christians, See how they love
one another
~. Love is Obedient, Joyful and
Sacrificial (John 15;lO-l4).
Love is not an impulsive. erratic
movement of mans nature which
tries TO make up for neglect and un-
kindness by occasional displays of
generosity and thoughtfulness. No

steady way of obedience to Gods
commandments.
Keeping Gods law is not accom-
