If you are a faithful
pupil (in the school of Christ), it will not be long until you see
that the perfect law of liberty, the law of Christ, is a discerner
of the very thoughts and intents of the heart, and that while you
must hate all sin, you cannot hate any sinner, and yet have the love
of God perfected in your heart. If even so much as a bitter feeling
against our traducers and maligners arise, it is to be fought, and
so complete a victory gained over it that every fiber of our beings
will be in sweet accord with our Great Teacher’s instructions, “Love
your enemies. Pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute
you. Bless and injure not. |
