God Transforms Us with Love, Not by Force ㅡ
“Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” (Matthew 5:48).
The conditions of eternal life, under grace, are just what they were in Eden—perfect righteousness, harmony with God, perfect conformity to the principles of His law.
The standard of character presented in the Old Testament is the same that is presented in the New Testament. This standard is not one to which we cannot attain.
In every command or injunction that God gives there is a promise, the most positive, underlying the command.
God has made provision that we may become like unto Him, and He will accomplish this for all who do not interpose a perverse will and thus frustrate His grace.
With untold love our God has loved us, and our love awakens toward Him as we comprehend something of the length and breadth and depth and height of this love that passeth knowledge.
By the revelation of the attractive loveliness of Christ, by the knowledge of His love expressed to us while we were yet sinners, the stubborn heart is melted and subdued, and the sinner is transformed and becomes a child of heaven.
God does not employ compulsory measures; love is the agent which He uses to expel sin from the heart.
By it He changes pride into humility, and enmity and unbelief into love and faith.
(Thoughts from the Mount of Blessing 76.2-76.3)
