*THE LOVE FOR WHICH GOD CREATED US IS ACCENTED BY ITS ATTRIBUTES - SPONTANEITY, FREEDOM, AND JOY. LOVE GOD’S LAW OF LOVE SPONTANEOUS, FREE, & JOYOUS

*LOVE INVOLVES A BURDEN FOR AND DELIGHT IN THE OTHER’S WELFARE AND BENEFIT. THIS IS AGAPE, THE KIND OF LOVE THAT GOD IS AND HAS FOR US. LOVE GOD’S LAW OF LOVE SPONTANEOUS, FREE & JOYOUS OTHERS

*PAUL TEACHES THAT THE LAW WAS ADDED BECAUSE OF SIN (Gal. 3:19). TO WHAT WAS IT ADDED?... TO GOD’S UNCHANGEABLE WILL FOR HUMAN BEINGS - THE LIFE OF LOVE! GOD’S LAW OF LOVE LAW

*NOTICE THE CHARACTER OF LAW AS LAW. LAW BINDS. IT PRESENTS OBLIGATION, AND THE PENALTY THAT FAILURE BRINGS IS DEATH AND SEPARATION FROM GOD. DUTY: YOU MUST DO IT OR DIE! GOD’S LAW OF LOVE LAW

SELF DUTY: YOU MUST DO IT OR DIE! GOD’S LAW OF LOVE LAW LOVE SPONTANEOUS, FREE, & JOYOUS OTHERS *CHECKMATE! *THE MORE YOU COMMIT AND STRIVE TO DO YOUR DUTY AS THE LAW DEMANDS, THE MORE IMPOSSIBLE IT IS TO ACTUALLY LOVE.
