Dr. Mayfield is explaining a Jonathan Edwards sermon from 1Co 13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
That is, that God expects us to love with a generous spirit, not looking for something in return; loving enemies….
He explains that if one loves in such a manner, then that love is from God’s Spirit.
