God Enables Us to Love When We Believe in His Love ㅡ

 “And we have known and believed the love that God has to us. God is love; and he that dwells in love dwells in God, and God in him.

 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.”

 (1 John 4:16~17)

 God’s great object in the working out of His providences is to try men, to give them opportunity to develop character.

Thus He proves whether they are obedient or disobedient to His commands.

Good works do not purchase the love of God, but they reveal that we possess that love.

If we surrender the will to God, we shall not work in order to earn God’s love.

His love as a free gift will be received into the soul, and from love to Him we shall delight to obey His commandments.

 (Christ’s Object Lessons 283)
