If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and His love is perfected in us. -- 1 John 4:12
WHETHER I am something or nothing in God's estimation is to be measured by my love for Him, for His brethren, for His cause, for the world in general, and even for my enemies,--rather than by my knowledge or fame or oratory....
In the measurement of character, therefore, we are to put love first, and to consider it the chief test of our nearness and acceptance to the Lord....
Those begotten of the Holy Spirit should all be good tempered. In no way can we better show forth the praises of Him who hath called us out of darkness into His marvelous light than by the exhibition of the spirit of love in the daily affairs of life. -- Excerpts from "Love in the Principal Thing" Z.'03-56,57 R3150:3; R3150:4; R3151:2
