Here are they to be imitators of the divine pity, copyists of the divine love. The word applied here to God tells them to love men, even the enemies of their holy religion they are to obey the heathen magistrate, and to think kindly of and to act courteously towards their heathen neighbour, because God has loved men-all men. ![]() In the rare word philanthropia, the "love of God toward man," a quiet but very solemn reminder is given to those "Christians" who would have no dealings with their less pure heathen neighbours. The two words-the measureless, divine love which embraces all creation, and the special love of God for man-taken together, make up the one idea expressed by the "grace that bringeth salvation," of Titus 2:11 of this Epistle. ![]() The second expression tells of the special love which the Almighty has for man, and which has been so marvellously shown in the sacrifice and death of the Son of God for us. Here God our Saviour, as in 1Timothy 1:1, and in several other passages in the Pastoral Epistles, must be understood as "God the Father " the "kindness" differs from the "love towards man." The first signifies generally that divine, measureless, all comprehensive love which we know is the glorious attribute of God.

We of ourselves should never have become changed men, had not the kindness of God and His divine love for men shown itself.
