The Love Quest

I have deep feelings for this guy, but he says I'm like a sister to him. What should I do?" "Why should a man still be expected to initiate romance?" "Isn't it okay to spend time together if we're just friends?" "If I never marry, will God take that desire away?" These are some of the many questions posed in letters to Elisabeth Elliot by readers of her bestselling book Passion and Purity. In this beautifully repackaged edition of Quest for Love, she responds with sound, biblical guidance, dusting off "antiquated" concepts such as commitment, integrity, honor, and servanthood, and showing how they still apply to dating and singleness today. Intertwined are hopeful true stories of discovering love through God's direction.

Love is the cure for the flaws of man. It is the solution to human difficulties. Love is the highest and best way to walk, and it is the way we are commanded to live. "Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; And walk in love..." (Eph. 5:1 & 2). Love is to lead and govern us, and we are to make it our quest to pursue the way love leads. The love Jesus introduced to the earth is the same love we now possess and are to bring to others. Since He is our constant companion, we are to be His constant love representatives on the earth.Especially in these last days, opposition and circumstances unique to these times will arise, so we must walk in the revelation of love, for it is the way we will overcome and move forward as victors in these perilous days. Jesus has made us victor and master over all opposition, so as love leads us forward, love victories await us!
