Absolute Love does not cause one to sit by and just be the center. God is still the center the gift and the giver. You won't experience His love in a vacuum. Jas 2:20 "Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? " Abraham is an example of faith because He acted on His belief. Jas 2:21 "Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar?" Faith is completed by the activities that display faithful obedience. Jas 2:22-23 "You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness"--and he was called a friend of God." You cannot go on ignoring the commands of God and claim to have accepted His Absolute Love. We end up talking about faith in a nonsensical manner. Jas 2:24 "You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone." Saved by faith alone, just not that kind of faith!
