God is love. When God dwells in us his love is manifested in our lives. In first John 4:7-8 it says, love is of God and every one that loveth is born of God. He that loveth not knoweth not God for God is love. Again it says in 1 John 5:2 -3 by this we know me love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his comandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grevious. In Romans 5:5 it says, and hope maketh not ashamed because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the holy Ghost which is given in us. It is the love of God in the heart of the true believer that keeps him in the narrow path, the harder way the Word, Christ. It is the love of God in the heart of the believer that keeps him in the doctrine of Christ and therefore in God for it says in 1John 1:9 whoso transgresseth and and abides not in the doctrine of Christ hath no God. Love hopeth all things, believeth all things in other words it abounds in the faith of Jesus endures all things in other words it abides in the word in sword nakedness, peril and famine etc love rejoice in the truth which is the word of God . In other words the person dwelling in love is perfect in all the divine virtues of Christ 2 Peter 2 . The living love of of Jesus Christ in his bride is a living evidence of his purchase and evidence that his quickening power has raised him from deadness in sin and trespasses and now his life is pulsating through him.
