2:5.1 "[[God]] is [[love]]"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1st_Letter_of_John#1st_Letter_of_John.2C_IV]; therefore his only personal [[attitude]] towards the affairs of [[Master Universe|the universe]] is always a [[reaction]] of [[divine]] [[affection]]. [[The Father]] loves us sufficiently to [[Gift|bestow]] his life upon us. "He makes his [[Light|sun]] to rise on the [[evil]] and on the [[good]] and sends rain on the just and on the unjust."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Matthew#Chapter_5]

2:5.2 It is wrong to [[think]] of God as being [[Pressure|coaxed]] into loving his [[children]] because of the [[sacrifices]] of his [[Creator Son|Sons]] or the [[intercession]] of his subordinate [[creatures]], "for the Father himself loves you."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_John#Chapter_16] It is in [[response]] to this [[Fatherhood|paternal]] affection that God sends the marvelous [[Thought Adjuster|Adjusters]] to indwell the [[minds]] of men. God's [[love]] is [[universal]]; "whosoever will may come."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_6] He would "have all men be [[Salvation|saved]] by coming into the [[knowledge]] of the [[truth]]."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1st_Letter_of_Paul_to_Timothy#The_1st_Letter_of_Paul_to_Timothy.2C_II] He is "not willing that any should [[Death|perish]]."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2nd_Letter_of_Peter#2nd_Letter_of_Peter.2C_III]

2:5.3 The [[Creators]] are the very first to attempt to save man from the disastrous [[results]] of his foolish [[transgression]] of the [[divine]] [[laws]]. God's love is by [[nature]] a fatherly affection; therefore does he sometimes "[[Correction|chasten]] us for our own [[growth|profit]], that we may be partakers of his [[holiness]]."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Letter_to_the_Hebrews#The_Letter_to_the_Hebrews.2C_XII] Even during your fiery [[trials]] remember that "in all our [[Pain|afflictions]] he is afflicted with us."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Isaiah#Chapter_.63]

2:5.4 God is divinely [[kind]] to [[sinners]]. When [[Rebellion|rebels]] return to righteousness, they are mercifully received, "for our God will [[abundantly]] [[pardon]]."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Isaiah#Chapter_.55] "I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own [[Soul|sake]], and I will not [[remember]] your sins."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Isaiah#Chapter_.43] "Behold what [[manner]] of love the Father has bestowed upon us that we should be called the [[Children|sons]] of God."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1st_Letter_of_John#1st_Letter_of_John.2C_III]

2:5.5 After all, the greatest [[evidence]] of the [[goodness]] of God and the supreme [[reason]] for loving him is the indwelling [[gift]] of [[the Father]]—the [[Thought Adjuster|Adjuster]] who so [[patiently]] awaits the hour when you both shall be eternally [[Fusion|made one]]. Though you cannot find God by [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=A_Lesson_on_Searching-2004-09-11 searching], if you will submit to the [[Guidance|leading]] of the indwelling spirit, you will be unerringly guided, [[Progress|step by step]], life by life, through [[Grand Universe|universe upon universe]], and age by age, until you finally stand in the [[presence]] of the [[Paradise]] [[personality]] of the [[Universal Father]].

2:5.6 How unreasonable that you should not [[worship]] God because the [[limitations]] of [[Human condition|human nature]] and the handicaps of your [[material]] [[creation]] make it impossible for you to [[Vision|see]] him. Between you and God there is a tremendous distance ([[physical]] [[space]]) to be [[Journey|traversed]]. There likewise exists a great [[Channel|gulf]] of [[spiritual]] [[Difference|differential]] which must be bridged; but notwithstanding all that [[physically]] and [[spiritually]] separates you from the [[Paradise]] [[personal]] presence of [[God]], stop and [[ponder]] the solemn [[fact]] that God [[Inner Life|lives within you]]; he has in his own way already bridged the gulf. He has sent of himself, his spirit, to live in you and to toil with you as you pursue your [[eternal]] [[Ascension Career|universe career]].

2:5.12 When man loses [[sight]] of the love of a [[personal]] God, the kingdom of God becomes merely the kingdom of [[good]]. Notwithstanding the [[infinite]] [[unity]] of the divine nature, [[love]] is the dominant characteristic of all God's [[personal]] dealings with his [[creatures]].
