Love.
This is not the human love espoused by the philosophers of the world. It is the love of God—powerful, unconquerable, eternal. The spiritual love of God that is developed in us by the Spirit of God enables us to do good and show mercy to those who are kind to us and to those who are not kind to us. Human love, the love emphasized by the teachers of our day, falls apart when subjected to stress.
Hatred is the image of Satan. The kingdom of Satan is horrible beyond our mind’s ability to imagine because there is no love in it. To dwell among creatures who possess no love, no mercy, no compassion, scarcely can be envisioned by human beings so accustomed to being treated with at least some mercy. But there is no love, no mercy, in Hell.
To be forced to dwell among the inhabitants of Hell is a fate frightful beyond words. Yet, some believers in Christ are heading in that direction because they are not allowing the Holy Spirit to create God’s image of love in them.
They are filled with bitterness and the spirit of revenge. They are spiteful and malicious. They gossip, backbite, and malign. They are not Christ’s servants no matter what church they attend. They are of Satan because they reveal in themselves the image of Satan, their father.
