我们晓得这世界真正的问题是没有爱。家庭与社会的问题都是从没有爱延伸出来的。当没有爱的时候，人开始讲原则，人把关注放在物质、名誉、排名或各种能比试的条件，从这里人开始争先恐后，最后彼此消灭。其实，人类的文明已经来到一个地步，清楚知道爱是关键的。唯有爱才能保持一个家庭或社会的和谐，但问题始终是人爱不了。自从人堕落离开神之后，人尝试要爱，或是模仿爱（作出很多友善、尊敬或帮助彼此的举动)，人甚至借着宗教的教条与精神来让人活出爱，但最终这爱总是有缺欠。这是因为人离开了爱的源头，受自己的罪性摆布。所以，圣经告诉我们，神就是爱，而这无穷无私的爱借着祂的儿子为罪人牺牲而显明出来。这爱是完全的，但我们人是不完全的，所以我们基督徒的挑战就是要将主的爱活出来。的确，我们的罪性限制了我们爱人的心，但我们要知道神已经将祂的教训与圣灵赐给我们，使我们靠着祂能克服一个个不能爱人的障碍。在这点，我们能探讨几方面。首先，叫我们不能爱人的最大障碍是我们因不能爱而受控告。试想，为何我们因不能爱而受控告，而不是因不能爱而求圣灵的帮助呢？这是因为我们将爱人当做一种要求或律法来执行，这本身已经不是爱人的精神，乃是爱自己了。所以，原本靠着圣灵很自然爱人的心变成了爱自己，才会因爱不了而受控告，而不是爱不了而多求恩。这本是我们借着多认识福音而要心意更新变化之处。《加5:1》告诉我们说：基督已经释放了我们，所以不要再被奴仆的轭辖制。另外，就是我们在爱人的事上都带有自己的歪曲想法，而这再加上每个人的主观性质就更复杂了。比如说：当我们的孩子不想读书，我们能因爱他而让他不读书吗？我们能说我们爱一个病人，所以他想吃什么就让他吃吗？当然我们按着理性的分析与良心的感知，我们会知道这是一种溺爱。但是，若我们实际的探讨，每个孩子不想读书的光景与理由是不一样的。每个病人的病况也不一样。我们要问：当我们爱一个人时，在当时当事应该怎么做。我们人有思想，但也有情感。当我们帮助一个人要思想，我们也要知道他情感的需要。并且，每个人都有自己个别的主观性与轻重的价值，有些人轻这个，重那个；或重这个，轻那个。有的人过度的疼爱孩子，有的人将钱看得比较重，纵然我们知道这不太相宜，但我们当存怜悯，不是以我们的说教来叫人跌倒。其实，因为人的主观性与个别的需要，我们很多时候犯了一个错误，就是要将爱套在一个原则或是一个教义里面，指出什么时候怎样做才是爱。其实，当我们这样做时，我们离开爱的精意与精神更远，到头来我们更不懂得爱。我们的爱反而是变得更有限，更机械。若说个贴切的例子：我们怎么判明康希牧师的案子呢？他说他以爱出发将教会的钱都用在传福音，始终没让教会亏损，但按着法律又有误。他的动机何在呢？你我知道吗？倘若我们说犯法就不对，那么我们教会知道是不合法律的，但是否应该继续进到大陆传福音呢？为何这又许可呢？没错，爱里面不能没有律法，但爱不受律法限制。若我们将律法或形式放在爱里面，就会抹杀爱人的活泼精神了。在这点，我们要从主的话语得教诲。

We know that in this world, the true problem is lack of love. The family and societal problems stem from lack of love. When love is lacking, man start to talk about principles, and focus on matters, reputations, ranking, and various conditions that can be compared. From here, men begin to snatch and destroy one another. Civilization of mankind has reached a stage in which, man know love is crucial. Only through love can the harmony in a family or society be maintained, but the problem is, men often cannot love. Since the fall of men, and separation from God, men try to love, or imitate love (put up a lot of kind, godly, or helpful acts), or live out love through religious teachings and spirit. But in the end, the love is still inadequate. This is because men have departed from the source of love, and being toyed by their sinful nature. Therefore, the Bible tells us, God is love, and this selfless love is revealed through His Son who sacrificed for sinners. This love is perfect, yet we are imperfect; thus as Christians, our challenge is to live out God’s love. Indeed, our sinful nature restricts our heart to love, but we need to know that God has given us His teaching and Holy Spirit, such that through them we can overcome every hindrance of love. In this, we need to reflect in a few areas. Firstly, the greatest hindrance to love is the accusation from not being able to love. Try thinking, why will we feel accused when we cannot love, and why not seek the help of Holy Spirit when we cannot love? This is because we treat loving men as a kind of requirement or law, and this itself has lost the spirit of loving men, for this is loving self. Hence, the original natural heart of relying on the Holy Spirit to love becomes a heart of loving self, thus we feel accused when we cannot love, rather than seeking more grace when we fail to love. This is the needful transformation of the heart we ought to have through knowing the Gospel. <Gal 5:1> tells us that: It is for freedom that Christ has set us free, do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Besides, we have our own distorted thinking in love, and it becomes more complex when we add in our individual subjective experiences. For example: when our children do not want to study, can we not let them study because we love them? Can we allow a patient to eat all that he wants out of love? Certainly, through rational analysis and conscience we have, we know this is a kind of reckless love. If we probe deeper, the reason why every child does not like to study is different, so is the situation they are in. Every patient has different conditions. We need to ask: as we love a person, what should we do there and then. We have our mind and emotions. As we help a person, we need to think, and know the needs of his emotions. Moreover, every one has their respective subjectivity and priorities; some value this, some value that. Some people overtly love the kids, some treat money as more important, though we know it is not too appropriate, but we have compassion, so that we don’t stumble as we advise. Actually, because of our respective subjectivity and variable needs, we often commit a mistake of binding love within a principle or doctrine. It means, love is doing certain things. But as we do so, we are drifted further away from the essence and spirit of love, and do not know love in the end. Our love becomes more restricted and mechanical. For an example: How do we judge the case of Kong Hee? He said he did it out of love, and use the money for evangelism, and the church did not suffer loss, yet it is illegal according to the law. What is his motive? Do we know? If we say as long as it breaches the law it is wrong, then why do we continue to go missions in China when it is unlawful? Why do we allow it then? Indeed, there is no law in love, and love is not bounded by law. If we put laws and formalities in love, we will kill the lively spirit of love. In this, we need to be instructed by Lord.
