Since we have his Love, we keep his commandments as he also said, "if ye love me, you will keep my commandments." Love is manifested toward each other as CHARITY, by which we are matured and gown up into the image of Christ who love us all supremely. When that element of LOVE is present, there is also peace and order that is reflected in comfort in the hearts and homes of the saints, order is reflected by the casting down of hell shown in healings and miracles, showing that the kingdom of God is nigh unto us.
