Show 151: THE PRECEPT OF THE LOVE OF GOD
In this episode we discuss the love of God. We ought to love God (1), because Christ commands this; (2), because He is in Himself essentially the highest beauty and sovereign perfection; (3), because He loves us and continually bestows benefits upon us.
Our love of God is chiefly manifested by thinking of Him constantly, by avoiding whatever might separate us from Him, by laboring to promote His glory, and willingly accepting all that comes from His hand.
We must love God with all our faculties, and above all things else in the whole world.
The love of God is of great advantage to us: Through it we are united to God here on earth, our minds are enlightened, our will is strengthened; we obtain pardon of sin, peace of soul, manifold proofs of God's favor, and after death celestial joys.
The merit of our good works and the degree of our future felicity is in proportion to the magnitude of our love for God.
