The Law of Love

Matthew 24:12 - "Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold."

The rise of relativity and the decline of absolutism has made its mark on our society. While mankind's hearts will continue to grow cold in these end-times because of the former, there is still hope for their redemption through the latter. God's laws and His love are inextricably linked. It is impossible to have one without the other.

The hope for all mankind is their discovery of the law of liberty (James 2:12). This ultimately allows a man to live as an individual, accountable only to God. Only in Christ, is there true liberty. Only as we follow the Lawgiver can we know true freedom.

Though hearts be cold and stony, God has promised that He can break into these ungodly lives. He only needs the fire of His love, that is bound to His laws of mercy and forgiveness. In so doing, He can enter into a man's heart and melt and mold him for His good pleasure. He waits, He longs, and He will not relinquish His quest to bring us the to His law of love. May we all yield to His irresistible, powerful presence that will truly set us free!
