On Loving God | Bernard of Clairvaux

$3.99

What is love? In his text On Loving God, Bernard surveys the four types of love that Christians experience as they grow in their relationship with God: loving oneís self, selfish love, loving God as God, and loving oneís self in God. Bernard reminds us that not only did God give us life, but He gave us Himself. For indeed, ìGod deserves to be loved very much, yea, boundlessly, because He loved us first, He infinite and we nothing, loved us, miserable sinners, with a love so great and so free.î Bernard reminds us that we are indebted to God for his love and His sacrifice. Not only should we love God because it is what He deserves, but also because loving God does not go without reward. Loving God is to our advantage. The Lord rewards those who love Him with the blessed state of the heavenly Fatherland, where sorrow and sadness cannot enter. St. Bernardís medieval prose is poetic and full of clever imagery. His work is as beautiful as it is knowledgeable.
