God's Holy Love

The love of God, therefore, is the kind of love that belongs to the Spirit of truth. It is the kind of love that consumes the unrighteous in judgment. It is a holy love, shining without any darkness. The love that lies at the core of God's being is the kind of love you don't want to take for granted or to trifle with. While it is a beautiful and wondrous love, it is also perfect love which delights in righteousness and justice. We would not know this love and its character except that God reveals His love to us.
