IV. “Revelations of Divine Love”:—

(Editorial Account) iv.-ix. The First Revelation: The Trinity is shewn, through
the Suffering of Christ, as Goodness, or Love all-working. 8

x. The Second Revelation: Man’s Sight of God’s Love is
but partial because of sin’s darkness. 21

xi. The Third Revelation: All Being is Being of God and
is good: Sin is no Being. 26

xii. The Fourth Revelation: The stain of sin through
lacking of human love is cleared away by the Death
of Christ in His Love. 29

xiii. The Fifth Revelation: By Love’s Sacrifice, in Christ,
the evil suffered, for Love’s Increase, to rise, is
overcome for ever. 30

xiv. The Sixth Revelation: The travail of Man against evil
on earth is a glory accepted by Love in Heaven. 33

xv. The Seventh Revelation: It is of God’s Will, for
our learning, that on earth we change
between joy of light and pain of darkness. 34

The Eighth Revelation: Of the oneness of God

in the love between Him and His Mother. 52

xxvi. The Twelfth Revelation: All that the soul lives
by and loves is God, through Christ. 54

The Thirteenth Revelation: Man’s finite love was
suffered by Infinite Love to fail, that falling
thus through sin into pain and death of
darkness, the creature therein might more
deeply know his need and more highly
know, in its succouring strength, the
Creator’s Love, as the Saviour’s; that so
being raised, and for ever held clinging to
that through the grace of the Holy Ghost,
he might rise to fuller and higher and
endless oneness with God.

xli.-xliii. The Fourteenth Revelation: Beginning on earth,
Prayer makes the soul one with God. 84

xliv.-lxiii. Regarding these Revelations and the Christian
Life of Love’s travail on earth against sin. 93

Autobiographical: The fall through frailty of
nature, by self-regarding, into doubt of the
Shewing of Love; the rescue by mercy; the
assaying of faith and the overcoming by
grace.

lxvii.-lxviii. The Sixteenth Revelation (Confirming): The
Indwelling of God In the Soul, now and
for ever. “Thou shalt not be overcome.” 167

Autobiographical: The second assaying of faith,
through the horror of spiritual darkness;
the overcoming by virtue of the Passion of
Christ, with help from the Common Belief
of the Christian Fellowship.

The Meaning of the Whole. Of learning
more on earth and In Heaven of the One
thing taught in the Revelation: the Endless
Love
; in Which Life is everlasting.
