"The true nature of Christian love is a righteous principle which seeks the highest good of others. It is a powerful desire to promote their welfare. The exercise of love is to be in strict conformity to the revealed will of God. We must love in the truth.......We must be careful not to confuse human sentimentality, carnal pleasantries, human amiability and affability with true spiritual love......Glossing over one another's faults to ingratiate ourselves in their esteem is not spiritual love."

~ Arthur Pink, “True Christian Love"
