God Rules Over All Things With His Law of Love ㅡ

“God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.” (1 John 4:16).

God is love. “His nature, His law, is love.” It ever has been; it ever will be. “The high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity,” whose “ways are everlasting,” changeth not. With Him “is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” (Isaiah 57:15; Habakkuk 3:6; James 1:17).

The law of love being the foundation of the government of God, the happiness of all intelligent beings depends upon their perfect accord with its great principles of righteousness. God desires from all His creatures the service of love-service that springs from an appreciation of His character. He takes no pleasure in a forced obedience, and to all He grants freedom of will, that they may render Him voluntary service.
(Patriarchs and Prophets, 33, 34)
