In Lesson 9 of this 13 part series, we learn about The Law of Love. It has been the almost universal belief that love is the greatest thing in life. Nothing is sweeter than love, nothing more courageous, nothing higher, nothing wider, nothing more pleasant, nothing fuller nor better, in heaven and earth.

God’s Word concurs that love is the greatest virtue. But the love that it elevates as supreme, is of a much deeper kind than that which the world understands and admires. Jesus declared that agape love is the supreme divine requirement of men, both in regard to Himself and in regard to other men. It is strange, when one comes to think of it, that we should be commanded to love. Love has an independence of its own. It comes and it goes, without any conscious effort of our will. Almost without our knowing why.  

Paul told the church at Corinth in the thirteenth chapter, that knowledge shall vanish away, but love will never fail. God has made you to love Him, to have communion with Him. And in that perfect communion, the Law of God is not broken. Therefore, we are called by The Law of Love in ministering to others. The proof of love is in what we do and not in what we say.
