...the experience of love in true Christians comes about in a different way. "They don't first see that God loves them and then see that he is lovely; but they first see that God is lovely and that Christ is excellent and glorious, and their hearts are first captivated with this view, and the exercises of their love are wont from time to time to begin here, and to arise primarily from these views; and then, consequentially, they see God's love and great favor to them."
Sam Storms, Signs of the Spirit: An Interpretation of Jonathan Edwards Religious Affections, p.90
