God’s Love is for ‘Every Nation, Kindred, Tongue, and People’ for All Time, not Just on Valentine’s Day
QUOTE OF THE WEEK:
Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject of ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it.
– Samuel Johnson, famous English lexicographer
Apostle Paul’s famous love chapter, 1 Corinthians 13 concludes on the 13th verse: “And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these three is love ”—not faith nor hope! This love, certainly never eros, not even the nobler philos, is alone tightly bundled with Biblicalfaith, which always “works by love” (Gal. 5: 6,) “the hand that appropriates Christ’s merits and remedies for sin” (DA 175), and that hope grounded in God’s word and promises (Rom. 15: 4; Titus 1: 2, etc.). This belongs to those who possess it by living experience, not mere talk.
