[Manna - February 7]
Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. Romans 13:10
HE who finds his heart not in harmony with this
law of the New Covenant, love—mercy, kindness,
gentleness, goodness—lacks the evidence or proof that
he is in any sense of the word accepted as a son of
God, and a joint-heir with Christ.
If we have not love
in our hearts for the brethren, and love of gentleness
and benevolence toward all men, and even toward
the brute creation, we have not the spirit which
will carry us through in making the sacrifices necessary
under present conditions.
It will only be a question
of time with such when the power of pride or
vain-glory, holding them in the way of sacrifice, will
snap asunder, and selfishness take full control. Z.'98-201 R2330:2
