Love
Temper is a proof whether the love of Christ is filling the heart, or not.
Envy, malice, revenge can never long harbor in a gracious intercessor’s breast.
He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.
And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
You must prove your love to God by your love to your brother; that is the one standard by which God will judge your love to Him.
How horrible, and how hell-like, is a revengeful heart!
But the goal of this command is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith,
Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently,
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
