True Christians love Christ because of his wondrous love which he bears to them. He loves them with a first love and with a free love. He loves them with a tender and compassionate love, with an active or doing love with a passive or suffering love. His love is infinite without bounds of limits. His love is superlative without comparison. His love is transcendent beyond comprehension. His love is immutable without change. His love is eternal without termination or end. He loved them when they were polluted in their sins and washed them with his own blood. He loved them when they were naked in their souls and clothed them with robes of his righteousness. He loved them in their sickness and sorrows and is their comforter. He loves them in their needs and strengths and is their benefactor. He loves them in life and is the life of their souls. He loves them at death and is the stay of their hearts and he loves them after death and will be their portion forever. Thomas Vincent.
