Summary: Maude Royden teaches that God’s love is unchanging and powerful, unlike old laws that only condemn us. Jesus showed us a new way to live through love, not by strict rules. By loving Christ, we gain the strength to follow His example and live fully.
We become, by irresistible compelling, like what we love. This is true of the least as of the greatest. So, loving Christ, we learn to live as He lived and to obey the laws which He obeyed. Law is no longer a dead and empty thing, serving only to condemn us for our failure to keep it: it is a loving power, enabling us to obey. (View Highlight)
