These are some words of wisdom from George E. Ladd (1911-1982) in his book, The Gospel of the Kingdom
The Kingdom of God:
1. God's reign
2. Our present experience of God's blessings
3. The Future kingdom
p. 22
Eternal Life:
"To have eternal life, you must cut yourself loose from all other loyalties and follow me." Matthew 19:16 p.68
Love:
"Love seeks the welfare of its objects of concern . . . even an enemy" p. 90
Evil Attitudes:
"Where there is an evil attitude toward one another there is sin." p. 82
Forgiveness:
"You can truly forgive a man only when you act in love. If you do not look upon him with love, you do not really forgive even though you profess to do so." p. 91
