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!
