The strength and longevity of freedom relies on the kind of love that fills people’s hearts. The world may get as close as “brotherly love” but this love is impulsive and often self-serving. Only divine love is steadfast through all kinds of adversity, keeping its object in the place of high value and continually benevolent to all. But this last “love” is only found in “human form” through Jesus Christ and those who have His Spirit in them, i.e., the Christian. This love is self-sacrificial in order to benefit others and is the antithesis of selfishness. It is constantly active in blessing others and keeping “the Christian” steadfast in service to mankind. This love prompts people to think well of, and do good to, other people; to be kind and forbearing in judging their acts; to be generous to the poor, benevolent to the afflicted. It guards and sustains the freedom of each individual to choose. This love is not blind but clear-sighted about the value of every human being. It sees each person’s potential and labors for his/her success. If this love is absent, if those who claim to be Christians do not demonstrate this love toward each other first, then beyond, the world will never know it exists and freedom will topple. Think about it.
