The home of everlasting, sacrificial, all-consuming, unchanging, unconditional love. Edwards expounds on how the hypostatic union, the church here on Earth, the love of God, and other natures of the Trinity affect and establish the nature of Heaven, the eternal home of rest and joy for all believers.

Ruth does so in a tangible, brave, and beautiful way that serves as an excellent example to all.

In this important work by Jonathan Edwards, the truth and importance of love is laid out plainly for the Christian to understand. While there are many ways of seeing God’s influence in the lives of His children, charity is the most consistent and most crucial.

Edwards details how real love is from the Spirit and is evident in all true believers and influences every aspect of life.
