It is only when grace is combined with truth and truth is joined with grace that the love of God is present. All else falls short. Agreed most strongly. That is basically what Paul argues in Phil. 1:9-11. I would add, however, that love, at least bibilically defined love (agape) is also action. It is not a state of being, but a state of acting. It it not felt, but done and as such both enabling and compelling are part of God's active agape. Grace and peace. >Love without grace is not love; love without truth is not love.

Agreed most strongly. That is basically what Paul argues in Phil. 1:9-11. I would add, however, that love, at least bibilically defined love (agape) is also action. It is not a state of being, but a state of acting. It it not felt, but done and as such both enabling and compelling are part of God’s active agape.

Grace and peace.
