Why is there so little love seen in us? It must be because we have failed in our apprehension of divine love. "God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Nothing at all to commend us to God; but what God did for us then commends His love. How wonderful to witness the whole world lying in wickedness, not one righteous, no, not one, and then to see God outside it all acting in love towards sinners, and all because of what He is in Himself. "God so loved the world."
