In C.S Lewis, The Four
Loves, he writes, “Man’s spiritual health is exactly proportional to his
love for God.” This is probably my favorite Lewis quote, because it is has such
an impacting application. In the 1 John 4 it says that God is love, and that if
you hate your brother but you say you love God he is a liar. I seems that
loving God is the most grounding aspect of your faith, and that if your love is
weak your spiritual health is low. I think that as believers we sometimes
underestimate how important love is in our walk with God. If you have extreme
faith, but weak love is your spiritual health affected? I honestly believe that
we need to correlate faith and love. That what Lewis said shouldn’t be
something new, it should be something challenging and uplifting.
