March 16, 2020-Chapter 2: "The Fruit Of The Spirit Is Love"- Question 6

QUESTION: 6

The very nature of God is Love and the Holy Spirit came to pour out His love into our hearts. How does the author explain to us how we must learn to love? What must we learn to do? (Page 19)

ANSWER To Question 6 (As stated by the Author)

And how can I learn to love? Never until the Spirit of God fills my heart with God's love, and I begin to long for God's love in a very different sense from which I have sought it so selfishly, as a comfort and a joy and a happiness and a pleasure to myself; never until I begin to learn that "God is love," and to claim it, and receive it as an indwelling power for self-sacrifice; never until I begin to see that my glory, my blessedness, is to be like God and like Christ, in giving up everything in myself for my fellow-men.

Wow! As you read that, you must be saying to yourself, "That's impossible to do!". You're right, it is, if you're doing it in your own power. But in God's power, all things are possible.
