God inspired Paul to write: “Love your neighbor as yourself” (Romans 13:9), for only God, who is love (1 John 4:8), can give us love through Jesus Christ and enable us to love Him, ourselves, whom He created, and others, and it is impossible for us to love apart from God, who is love and is inseparable from faith and hope which are also given to us by God (1 Corinthians 13:12); therefore, God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, salvation, faith, hope, and love are divine, inseparable, and eternal.
