The true Christians love for Christ

" The life of Christianity consist very much in our love of Christ. Without love of Christ, we are as much without spiritual life as a carcass when the soul is fled from it is without natural life. Faith without love is a dead faith and a Christian without love to Christ is a dead Christian, dead in sins and trespasses. without love to Christ we may have the name of Christians, but we are wholly without the nature. We may have the form of Godliness, but we are wholly without the power."

"If He has our love, our desires will be chiefly after Him. Our delights will be chiefly in Him; our hope and expectations will be chiefly from Him....love will engage and employ for Him all the powers and faculties of our souls; their thoughts will be brought into captivity and obedience unto Him; our understanding will be employed in seeking and finding His truths; our memories will be receptacles to retain them..."
