The truth validates itself. A word like “love” has no definite truth outside of “a word that describes our God.”
To claim it, is unlike claiming anything else. It is to claim you desire to imitate that which you do not fully know, but to claim it assumes as ones understanding grows, as does ones actions. This entails every facet and sort of love. Intimate. Brotherly. Parental, etc.
There is a story of two sons, both are told to go work, one says he will while the other says won’t. Yet the one who says he won’t is the only one who does, and Jesus tells us he was the righteous one.
This parable always concerns me…
