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.

for that which is given without money and without price. It is opposed to all idea of bargaining, to all acceptance of an equivalent, or that which might be construed into an equivalent. A man is said to give freely when he bestows his charity on applicants simply on the ground of their poverty, hoping for nothing to gain.
A man distributes freely, when, without asking any compensation, he finds it more blessed to give than to receive. Now, God’s love comes to men all free and unbought without our having merit to deserve or money to procure it. I know it is written, "Come, buy wine and milk, but is it not added,
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
