No man loves God of his own accord, but one who is pained by the filth of sin, repenting and believing in God’s love in Christ will confess that God’s love is poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit given us as Paul did.
Hakuna mtu ampendaye Mungu kwa mapenzi yake mwenyewe, ila yule anayeumizwa na uchafu wa dhambi zake, akiungama na kuamini upendo wa Mungu ndani ya Kristo. Atakiri kwamba upendo wa Mungu umemiminwa ndani ya mioyo yetu kwa njia ya Roho Mtakatifu tuliopewa, jinsi alivyofanya Paulo. Upendo huo unajionyesha katika kujitolea kabisa, kwa unyenyekevu na uvumilivu.
