Excerpt from The Love of GodLove is the principle Of the divine nature which leads God at all times to desire the happiness and welfare Of all his creatures. That the conduct of his enlightened creature may, Of necessity, divert somewhat this divine emotion, we doubt not, and yet it seems clear that to the last limit of human probation God's compassion follows his wander ing and sinful child. In so far as love stands for delight in one's character, it must follow that, in this sense, God loves the penitent, the good, the upright, those who follow after holiness in all their ways. He has, however, the deepest compas-i Sion for the erring and the sinful, even when their ways are Offending him grievously. God is holy and just, but these attributes are ever tempered by his infinite love. Thanks be to his exalted name that this is true. It dawns upon us more and more that love is the crowning attribute of God.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
