INTRODUCTION
GRACE ABOUNDING
BY THE REV. C. H. SPURGEON
I will love them freely.
Hosea 14:4.
This sentence is a body of divinity in miniature. He who understands its meaning is a theologian, and he who can dive into its fullness is a true Master in divinity!
I will love them freely,
is a condensation of the glorious message of salvation which was delivered to us in Christ Jesus our Redeemer. The sense hinges upon the word freely.
"I will love them freely." Here is the glorious, the suitable, the divine way by which love streams from heaven to earth!
It is, indeed, the only way in which God can love such as we are. It may be that He can love angels because of their goodness; but He could not love us for that reason. The only manner in which love can come from God to fallen creatures is expressed in the word freely.

Without money and without price?
I will love them freely. That is,
I will not accept their works in barter for My love; I will not receive their love as
