Love to Christ, necessary to escape the curse at his coming

As when God loveth any of us, he will withhold nothing from us that is good for us, no, not his own only begotten Son, Rom. 8.32. And when Christ loveth us, he giveth all unto us, his Merits to justify us, his Spirit to sanctify us, his Grace to adorn us, his Glory to crown us; so when any of us love Christ sincerely, we lay all down at his feet, and give up all to be at his command and service, Rev. 12.11. And they loved not their lives unto the death.

3. Love gives the denomination to a man, according as the Object is which he superlatively loveth: For as is the Love, such is the man; and as is the Love, such might you boldly call the man: If he be a lover of Honour, he is an Ambitious man; a lover of Pleasure, a Voluptuous man; and if he chiefly love the World, he is a Covetous man; if he love Holiness, he is a Religious man; if the things above, an Heavenly-minded man; and if he love Christ with a predominant love, he is a Sincere man, Cant. 1.4. The upright love thee.
