Matthew 5 :48 (ESV)
15 As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness;
when I awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness.
when I awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness.
Psalm 17:15 (ESV)
To love God is to love His character. For instance, God is Purity. And
to be pure in thought and look, to turn away from unhallowed books and
conversation, to abhor the moments in which we have not been pure, is
to love God. God is Love; and to love men till private attachments have
expanded into a philanthropy which embraces all,—at last even the evil and
enemies with compassion,—that is to love God. God is Truth. To be true,
to hate every form of falsehood, to live a brave, true, real life,—that is
to love God. God is Infinite; and to love the boundless, reaching on from
grace to grace, adding charity to faith, and rising upwards ever to see the
Ideal still above us, and to die with it unattained, aiming insatiably to
be perfect even as the Father is perfect,—that is to love God.
F.W. Robertson
