God is love. Like rays of light from the sun, love and light and joy flow out from Him to all His creatures. It is His nature to give. His very life is the outflow of unselfish love. "His glory is His children's good; His joy, His tender Fatherhood." He tells us to be perfect as He is, in the same manner. We are to be centers of light and blessing to our little circle, even as He is to the universe. We have nothing of ourselves, but the light of His love shines upon us, and we are to reflect its brightness. "In His borrowed goodness good," we may be perfect in our sphere, even as God is perfect in His.

Jesus sagde: Vær fuldkomne, ligesom jeres Fader er fuldkommen. Dersom I er Guds børn, har I del i hans natur, og I kan ikke andet end ligne ham. Ethvert barn lever ved sin faders liv. Dersom I er Guds børn fødte af hans ånd lever I ved hans liv. I Kristus bor »hele guddomsfylden legemlig,« og Jesu liv åbenbares »i vort dødelige kød". Dette liv i jer vil frembringe den samme karakter og åbenbare de samme gerninger, som det frembragte hos ham. Dermed vil t være i overensstemmelse med ethvert bud i hans lov; for »Herrens lov er fuldkommen, kvæger sjælen". Ved kærligheden vil »lovens krav« »opfyldes i os, som ikke vandrer efter kødet; men efter ånden.« (Kol. 2,9; 2Kor. 4,11; Sl. 19,8; Rom. 8,4).
