It worketh by love. This the Scripture a• firmeth,1 Gal. 5.6. Neither Circumcision, nor Uncircumcision availeth any thing, but faith which worketh by love: thence it is evident, that true faith worketh by love. And this is indeed the great distinguishing Character of it, it worketh by love to God, and the things of God, and by love to man for Gods sake. A true believer works all his works in love to God and Christ; His whole labour in point of obedience, is a labour of love▪ he sees an unfathomed depth of Divine love, declared toward him by God in Christ, and this constrains him to love God in Christ again; and out of love unto him that dyed for him, to give up himself unto him▪ and lay out himself for him. The love of Christ constraineth me, saith a true believer, 2 Cor. 5.14, 15. He is holy and blameless before him in love, Ephes 1.4. My soul hath kept thy Commandments, and I love them exceedingly, saith a true believer, Ps. 119.167.
