The failure to love is a failure to understand the gospel. The love of Christ within us, being worked out in our daily conduct, outside the home, within the home, within the church, is the end result of the gospel. To truly be able to love God with all of our heart, soul, strength and mind and love our neighbor as ourself is the very soul, the very purpose the very essence of our redemption.
