Summary

Part 6 Ethics Chapter 37 The Common Good Section c. Love with Order The good of internal order is attained when one loves each created good as one ought, namely in accordance with justice, by bringing the intelligence into the feelings and emotions. This describes the relation between mercy and justice, truth and love, the mind and the heart. Without this, love is always tended towards disorder, to sentimentality and imbalances of ordination caused by favouritism and arbitrary feelings.  According to Saint Thomas the relations would be as follows: Love of God includes love of neighbour and love of oneself but surpasses them. The love of neighbour does not include the love of God, but without it it would always be disordered and not pure love. It does include the love of self but surpasses it. The love of self does not include the love of neighbour or the love of God, but without both it would always be an egotistical, prideful love, and therefore tending one away from both love and goodness.

Section c. Love with Order

The good of internal order is attained when one loves each created good as one ought, namely in accordance with justice, by bringing the intelligence into the feelings and emotions. This describes the relation between mercy and justice, truth and love, the mind and the heart.

Without this, love is always tended towards disorder, to sentimentality and imbalances of ordination caused by favouritism and arbitrary feelings.

According to Saint Thomas the relations would be as follows:

Love of God includes love of neighbour and love of oneself but surpasses them. The love of neighbour does not include the love of God, but without it it would always be disordered and not pure love. It does include the love of self but surpasses it. The love of self does not include the love of neighbour or the love of God, but without both it would always be an egotistical, prideful love, and therefore tending one away from both love and goodness.

Waypoint Christian Church Clovis NM waypointnm We believe our mission at Waypoint is to make disciples of Jesus Christ. This is the ongoing mission that Christ has given His church throughout the centuries. This mission can be achieved only through Christ’s authority, power, and abiding presence. We desire to be a congregation that walks closely with Jesus and models our fellowship after His character and priorities. We believe there are three vital aspects to making disciples.1 Gospel-Centeredness (Ezek. 36:22-27, 1 Cor. 10:31, Ps. 127:1, John 15:4-11)In everything we do, we want it to be about who Jesus is, what He has done, and what He will continue to do. As His church, it is our joy to bring glory to God by worshiping and proclaiming Jesus. The gospel is our foundation and guiding point.2 Transformational Community (Rom. 12, Col. 3:1-4, Heb. 12:1-3, Eph. 4:1-7, Phil. 2:12)At Waypoint we want to meet people where they are but we do not want to leave them where they are.
