"And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing." ~ 1 CORINTHIANS 13:2 (NKJV)

All the fruits of the Spirit which we are to lay weight upon as evidential of grace, are summed up in charity, or Christian love; because this is the sum of all grace. And the only way, therefore, in which any can know their good estate, is by discerning the exercises of this divine charity in their hearts; for without charity, let men have what gifts you please, they are nothing. —Jonathan Edwards

"You shall walk after the LORD your GOD and fear Him, and keep His commandments and obey His voice; you shall serve Him and hold fast to Him." ~ DEUTERONOMY 13:4 (NKJV

Christian, let GOD's distinguishing love to you be a motive to you to fear Him greatly. —John Bunyan

I have seen the GOD-given task with which the sons of men are to be occupied. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that GOD does from beginning to end. ~ ECCLESIASTES 3:10 (NKJV)

But so long as we are occupied with any other object than GOD Himself, there will be neither rest for the heart nor peace for the mind. —Arthur W. Pink
