There
is physical love (Song of Songs). There is the love spoken of in 1
Corinthians 13. There is the love of God - “For the Lord is good and His
love endures for ever” (Psalm 100:5).
The more we consider what the Scriptures say about love, the more we
realize that ‘love is a many-splendoured thing.’ To understand love,
there needs to be a response of love arising from our hearts. Touched by
love, we learn to love.
" ... Will you ... come and stand before Me in this house, which bears My Name, and say, We are safe" - safe to do all these detestable things? Has this house, which bears My Name become a den of robbers to you? But I have been watching! declares the Lord" (Jeremiah 7:8-11). “God demands a conversion of the mind and heart as the basis of peace and security (cf. Is 26:3), not the superstitious veneration of a stone building or a traditionally sacred site” ( R K Harrison , Jeremiah ).
