A Message of Love |
|
 "God is the very Spirit of Love itself, true Love, everlasting Love, real Love, genuine Love that never ends." |
David's primary goal in writing was to ground
his followers in the fundamental teachings of the Bible, as well as the mission of his new
movement. At the heart of his teachings was the unshakable conviction that the Love of
God, as manifested in the Bible and the Person of Jesus, was the solution to every human
need. He wrote: "[God] is pictured in His Son Christ Jesus, Who came for love and lived in love and died for love, that we might live and love forever! 'For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life' (John 3:16). "This is the solution to all of the problems of today as well as to the problems of the past: love! -- True love, the Love of God and the love of fellow man! -- The Spirit of God's divine Love which helps us all to fulfill His great commandment to love one another! This is still God's solution, even in such a complex and confused and highly complicated society as that of the world today! "In fact, this is why God created man to begin with: to love -- to love and enjoy Him forever and to try to help others to do the same! It was God Who created love and gave man the need to love and be loved, and it is He alone Who can satisfy the deepest yearning of every human soul for total love and complete understanding. "[God] is the very Spirit of Love itself, true Love, everlasting Love, real Love, genuine Love that never ends from a Lover Who never leaves, the Lover of all lovers, God Himself." [45] "I am ... convinced that what Jesus said is still true, regardless of nationality, country, color or creed: 'I, if I be lifted up, ... will draw all men unto Me' (John 12:32). There is no difference! The heart of man is the same the world over, and his heartaches and sorrows and sins and pains and fear of death are the same! His longings, loves and hunger for God and His Truth, for joy and happiness and peace of mind, are God-created and the same in men the world over!" [46] "S although the temporal things of this earth can satisfy the body, only God and His eternal Love can ever fill that aching spiritual void of every man's heart which He created for Himself alone! The human spirit, that intangible personality of the real you that dwells within that body, can never be completely satisfied with anything less than utter union with the great and loving Spirit that created it. "It's really just that simple: if we love God, we can love each other! We could then follow His rules of life, liberty, and the possession of happiness, and all would be well and happy in Him!"
