How Is Love Maintained?

By X

—Love grows as muscles do,—by feeding and exercise. The true diet of the Christian is not the morning paper, nor the latest novel, but the Word of God. That Word is Spirit and Life; and life is love, and love is life. Food and exercise keep doing for Christ, for the purchase of Christ’s blood. Keep Him in view. He is the Living Sacrifice, as much to-day as when He hung on Calvary. Be thou a living sacrifice. Let His death be your death to the world. Let His life of loving sacrifice flow into your life. So shall you know that God is love, that God loves you, and that you love God and all for whom Christ died; and there is no torment in love. Is the love of God strange to you?—O, then look upon Calvary! That reveals how much God loves you. X.
