I.) 1. First, The love of God. For thus saith his word, _Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength_. Such a love is this, as engrosses the whole heart, as takes up all the affections, as fills the entire capacity of the soul, and employs the utmost extent of all its faculties. He that thus loves the Lord his God, his spirit continually _rejoiceth in God his Saviour_. His _delight_ is _in the Lord, his_ Lord and his all, to whom _in every thing he giveth thanks. All_ his _desire is unto God, and to the remembrance of his name_. His heart is ever crying out, _Whom have I in heaven but thee, and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee_. Indeed, what can he desire beside God? Not the world, or the things of the world. For he _is crucified to the world, and the world crucified to him_. He is crucified to the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eye, and the pride of life. Yea, he is dead to pride of every kind: for _love is not puffed up_; but he that dwelling in love, _dwelleth in God, and God in him_, is less than nothing in his own eyes. II.) 2. The second thing implied in the being _altogether a Christian_ is, the love of our neighbour. For thus said our Lord in the following words, _Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself_. If any man ask who is my neighbour, we reply, every man in the world; every child of his, who is _the father of the spirits of all flesh_. Nor may we in any wise except our enemies, or the enemies of God and their own souls. But every Christian loveth these also as himself, yea, _as Christ loved us_. He that would more fully understand what manner of love this is, may consider St. _Paul’s_ description of it. It is _long-suffering and kind: it envieth not: it is not rash or hasty in judging: it is not puffed up_, but maketh him that loves, the least, the servant of all. Love _doth not behave itself unseemly_, but _becometh all things to all men_. She _seeketh not her own_, but only the good of others, that they may be saved. Love _is not provoked_. It casteth out wrath, which he who hath, is wanting in love. It _thinketh no evil_. It _rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth_. It _covereth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things_.
