Leo Tolstoy on Love of God

← Back to Leo Tolstoy Profile
The commandments of God should be followed because of love of God, not because of fear of God.
Leo Tolstoy
If you love a person without loving God, which is the goodness inside of him, then you plant the seeds for future disappointments and sufferings with this love.
Leo Tolstoy
A person who understands the law but who is far from the love of God is like a bank official who has the keys for the inside of the building but not the key for the front door.
