The Secret of Brotherly Love by Andrew Murray

The Secret of Brotherly Love 30-Day Devotional Is biblical and God-honoring love attainable between human beings? As a part of his classic Secret Series devotionals, Andrew Murray wrote this month-long devotional to remind believers that this kind of love is not only attainable, but it is commanded. Through the gracious spirit of God, believers can be a flowing stream of God’s love to the world. When a Christian comes to understand that the love wherewith God and Christ love him should be in him too—and not merely as a pleasant experience but as a divine life-power, abiding in him—he can have assurance that the Spirit of God longs to effect this love in him. And as he believes this, and surrenders himself fully to the Holy Spirit, he will find that he can and will love all men. Andrew Murray, The Secret of Brotherly Love

enemies, even so, not more, nor less, I<br />

must love all. " Be ye merciful, even<br />

as your Father is merciful." From my<br />

Father in heaven I must learn how to<br />

love.<br />

· 3. <strong>The</strong> Christian love <strong>of</strong> all mankind<br />

may rise still higher. In the realm <strong>of</strong><br />

grace, God has reconciled us to Himself,<br />

so that He can apportion to us His<br />

personal love. This is the law for each<br />

child <strong>of</strong> God; he must love his brother<br />

with the same love with which Christ<br />

has loved him. .<br />

4. And then comes the last and the<br />

highest thought, that even as Christ, in<br />

His great love, redeemed a world dying<br />

in i;nisery and sin, so all those who have<br />

received this love should give themselves,<br />

even as Christ did, to love all men, and<br />

devote their lives to making others<br />

partakers <strong>of</strong> this great blessedness.<br />

Child <strong>of</strong> God, here are four reasons<br />

why we should love our neighbours.<br />

Have they not a Divine authority and<br />

irresistible power, which will compel us<br />

to manifest this Christian love towards<br />

our brethren in fulness <strong>of</strong> beauty?<br />

May God write the royal law <strong>of</strong> love<br />

deep in our hearts !<br />
