Bible Note: Dear Brad, We are getting much closer! :-) I would have left out the causal connection. Love is such a powerful thing that it includes the action. The emotional component may come and go, but the actions are not dependent on the emotion. You might even think of the emotion as inconsequential. Note that I am not saying that emotions are unimportant. We are emotional beings. However, our emotions are never to be the basis on which we do things. Instead, we do things thoughtfully in the light of God's commands, His purposes, and His nature. Yes, love is a wondrous attribute of our Lord. In Him, Doc |
