I spent several posts
over at http://gordon-feil-theology.blogspot.ca/
explaining why I believe there exists an all-knowing personification of Love
who is personally interested in us and who communicates with us through the
Bible as his written word, and the reason is because this post would be
meaningless without that.
I can describe
love as seeking the ultimate good of the one being loved, and we have said that
this occurs through an attitude of caring, knowing, respecting and taking
responsibility for that one. I also said
that this love depends not at all upon the beloved, for it is
unconditional.
God goes further
than this. He tells us what we will and
will not be doing if we are loving. He
gives us a mirror which we can use to examine ourselves. It is what in Hebrew, the language in which
it was first written, is called the Torah.
It’s a word translated into English as law,
but is better translated as teaching.
