Quotes about Love

Love Conquers Selfishness "The fruit of the Spirit is love." Why? Because nothing but love can expel and conquer our selfishness.

Jesus does love you. He does not wish to be separated from you one minute. We want to believe in the love of Jesus. No mother ever delighted in the baby in her arms as much as Jesus delights in you.

Take that in, beloved believer, and say, "If that is possible, God helping me, I must have this filling of the Holy Spirit, so I may always have Jesus dwelling in my heart.

Our love for God is measured by our everyday interaction with men and the love it displays.

The reason is simply this—they have never learned to believe and accept the truth that the Holy Spirit can pour God's love into their heart. That blessed text has often been limited!—"The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts" (Romans 5:5).

God's love to me, and my love to God, and my love to my fellowmen. The three are one; you cannot separate them.

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, a joy, a happiness, and a pleasure to myself. I will not learn it until I realize that "God is love."

The fourth truth of the gospel is that Christ's followers are to be His witnesses, ever testifying of His wonderful love, of His power to redeem, of His continual abiding presence, and of His wonderful power to work in us. Every one of us is called to be living proof and witness of what Jesus can do, not only by His words, but also by His life and actions. Christ's followers must tell people and bring them to the throne of grace.

This is my commandment, the Saviour says, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. He sometimes spoke of commandments, but the love, which is the fulfilling of the law, is the all-including one, and therefore is called His commandment--the new commandment.

We seek for the operation of the Spirit with the purpose of obtaining more power for work, more love in our life, more holiness in the heart, more light on Scripture or on our path. But all these gifts are subordinate to the great purpose of God. The Father bestowed the Spirit on the Son, and the Son gave Him to us for the purpose of revealing and glorifying Christ Jesus in us. The heavenly Christ must become for us a real and living personality who is always with us and in us.
