We May Love Man Because of What He is as Man
Galatians 5:14
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; You shall love your neighbor as yourself.


God has stamped beauty on his material body, and given an higher grandeur to his mysterious mind. But there is a deeper and diviner reason for love. It is this: To love a man because he is a brother in Christ; because he is to some extent like Christ, and reflects His image upon those who come in contact with him. Here the grounds of love are moral, spiritual, and internal.

(Thomas Jones.).
