CHRISTIAN LOVE
“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love!” 1 Corinthians 13:13
“The end of the commandment is love.” 1 Timothy 1:5
Love is rightly called “the Queen of Christian graces.” It is a grace which all people profess to admire. It seems a plain practical thing which everybody can understand. It is none of “those troublesome doctrinal points” about which Christians are disagreed.
Thousands, I suspect, would not be ashamed to tell you that they knew nothing about justification or regeneration, about the work of Christ or the Holy Spirit. But nobody, I believe, would like to say that he knew nothing about “love!” If men possess nothing else in religion, they always flatter themselves that they possess “love.”
