Love

“The great Bringer of Truth, Christ Jesus, the personification of Divine Love, did not concern Himself with creeds.”

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.”

“And therefore love indeed stands as the highest power, as unlimited might, in the mysteries of the great Life!”

“But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you.”

“The ray of Divine Love can never find its way to him who has not absorbed the ray of Purity!”

“Love is patient and is kind. Love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud, doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.”

“And wherever there is true purity, genuine love can also enter, for God's Love works in the ray of Purity.”

“But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.”

“Love alone can overcome and accomplish all things, always provided, however, that it is not the earthly demanding love, which harbours jealousy and kindred evils.”

“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.”

“Genuine love never thinks of itself, but always of the advantage of the beloved one, and acts accordingly, even if it involves self-sacrifice!”

“This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.”

“Genuine love will take no account of what gratifies the other, of what is agreeable to him and gives him joy, but will only direct itself towards what will benefit him, regardless of whether it affords him pleasure or not.”

“For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from God's love which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

“In the Way of Heaven, there is no partiality of love; it is always on the side of the good man.”

“Right love does not exclude anything that is pure or kept pure, no matter whether this concerns persons or one's native land, also such things as work or Nature.”

“Beloved, let's love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. He who doesn't love doesn't know God, for God is love.”

“The first intuitive feeling which stirs the heart at the awakening of pure love is thinking oneself unworthy of the beloved one.”

“We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.”

“Divine Love is inseparable from the utmost severity of Divine Justice.”

“We love him, because he first loved us.”

“True love does not lie in indulgence, and in a kindness that is expected to forgive everything.”

“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

“Joyfully and voluntarily serving each other, the couple grows upward together towards spiritual ennoblement.”

“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.”

“Not the covetous love of the world of gross matter, but the sublime, pure Love which has no other thought, no other desire, but the welfare of the beloved one!”

“Love doesn't harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.”

“As soon as a human being opens his heart to pure love, whether it be man's love for a woman or vice versa, or the love for friends, parents or children, it is all the same!”

“Let all that you do be done in love.”

“Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn.”

“The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.”

“For mercy and love alone are contained in the final effects of all the Laws in Creation, which in the end rise upwards and meet in the one great basic Law: the Law of Love!”

“And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.”

“As soon as pure love stirs within a man, no matter what has caused it, he obtains the most direct connection with God, the Primordial Source of all Love, and thus the strongest help.”

“Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.”

“Finally, with pure love comes the ardent desire to do something really great and noble for the beloved one, not to offend or hurt him by look, thought or word, much less by an unworthy action.”

“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.”

“In the Divine Sphere Purity is closely united with Love!”

“In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honor prefer one another.”

“Let each word you speak reflect the love which God grants you!”

“Love never fails.”

“Genuine faithfulness can only live in true love, never in passion or phantasy.”

“Many waters can't quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, he would be utterly scorned.”

“Loyalty is not something which is independent, but only a quality of love!”

“To those who are good (to me), I am good; and to those who are not good (to me), I am also good;--and thus (all) get to be good.”

“Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all wrongs.”

“However, if men would live on a basis of true love, as is willed by God, this condition alone would provide the impetus to alter many things among them, in fact everything!”

“A friend loves at all times; and a brother is born for adversity.”

“The Religion of Love has been misunderstood, because the concept of love has in many ways been distorted and misrepresented, for the greater part of true love is severity!”

“My little children, let's not love in word only, or with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.”

“Where love is missing there is also no life, there all is dead!”

“Walk in love, even as Christ also loved us and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.”

“Raise fatherhood and motherhood to honour! Who today still knows what great dignity lies in them. And what power to ennoble mankind!”

“For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."”

“Hence a marriage only exists where harmony and peace reign as a matter of course. Where one always seeks to live only for the other and make him happy.”

“Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.”

“Where there is true love of soul, however, the mutual glad giving up of self is something quite natural, and in this way any disadvantage to one party is reciprocally also quite impossible.”

“No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us.”

“Love of the soul, however, remains the best protection against infringement of this Commandment; for one who truly loves always wills only what is best for the loved one, and therefore can never make unclean wishes or demands, against which this Commandment is above all directed!”
