Another mark of growth in grace
(J.C. Ryle, “Growth in Grace” 1879)
Another mark of growth in grace, is increase in LOVE to others. The man whose soul
is growing, is more full of love every year--of love to all men--but expecially of love
towards the brethren.
His love will show itself actively--in a growing disposition to do kindnesses, to take
trouble for others, to be good-natured to everybody, to be generous, sympathizing,
thoughtful, tender-hearted and considerate.
His love will show itself passively--in a growing disposition to be meek and patient
towards all men, to put up with provocation and not stand upon his rights, to bear and
forbear much rather than quarrel. A growing soul will try to put the best construction
on other people’s conduct; and to believe all things and hope all things, even to the end.
There is no surer mark of backsliding and falling off in grace--than an increasing
disposition to find fault, pick holes, and see weak points in others. Would anyone know
if he is growing in grace? Then let him look within for increasing love to others.
