Keeping the Love of God in the Heart
By Chalmers
We know of no other way by which to keep the love of the world out of our hearts, than to keep in our hearts the love of God; and no other way by which to keep our hearts in the love of God, than by building ourselves upon our most holy faith. That denial of the world which is not possible to him that dissents from the gospel testimony, is possible, even as all things are possible, to him that believeth. To try this without faith, is to work without the right tool or the right instrument. But faith worketh by love; and the way of expelling from the heart the love which transgresseth the law, is to admit into its receptacles the love which fulfilleth the law.—Chalmers.
