Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. Romans 13:10
* * *
HE who finds his heart not in harmony with this law of the New Covenant, love—mercy, kindness, gentleness, goodness—lacks the evidence or proof that he is in any sense of the word accepted as a son of God, and a joint-heir with Christ. If we have not love in our hearts for the brethren, and love of gentleness and benevolence toward all men, and even toward the brute creation, we have not the spirit which will carry us through in making the sacrifices necessary under present conditions. It will only be a question of time with such when the power of pride or vainglory, holding them in the way of sacrifice, will snap asunder, and selfishness take full control.

God's love is super complicated and we should not use our own measure to judge others' love.
We will be judged according to what we have done in the end if we truly acted with godly love.
I fully agree with you, with one exception, I don't believe that God's love is at all complicated. It is simple & all encompassing, the problem comes with our understanding of it. _________________ "By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."

Ok, it is not complicated but the way we understand God is vastly different. That's why we should let God judge how we understand God's love. _________________ YHWH is my God and Jesus is my Lord
