PROMISE FOR SEPTEMBER 18TH

"But whoso keepeth His Word, in him verily is the love of God perfected." 1 John 2:5

Having found the Word of God, we should keep it, in the sense of reverencing it and obeying it. We should strive to regulate our lives and all of our doings by that Word. Whoso keepeth God's Word will as a result find that God's love is perfected in him....We believe it is possible for us to have this perfect love of God. If it were perfect works of the flesh that were required, we might doubt our ability to have perfection. But since it is a matter of the heart, it is possible for us to attain it; for we can be pure in heart....To have, then, this love of God perfected in us, would seem to indicate that we would have the very highest ideal--that we love as God loves.
