DEFINITION AND DESCRIPTION OF IMPERSONAL LOVE
 
     To understand the love that God Commands every believer to have for all people, a distinction must be made between the subject and object of love.
The subject is the one who loves; the object is the one who is loved.
When love emphasizes the object, Personal love is in view.
When love emphasizes the subject, Impersonal love is in view.
Impersonal love is unconditional, emphasizing the Virtue and Spiritual status of the subject being in fellowship, rather than rapport with or worthiness of the object.
The object of Impersonal love can be known or unknown, friend or enemy, attractive or repulsive, honorable or dishonora­ble, good or evil, believer or unbeliever!
Impersonal love, therefore, is defined as the Virtue of the subject resulting from residence, function and momentum in the Spiritual life!
(Gal 5:22-23) Imperson­al love develops in stages, specifically the three stages of Spiritual adulthood: Spiritual self-esteem, Spiritual autonomy and Spiritual maturity.
Impersonal love is a sign of Spiritual adulthood, since all three stages possess Impersonal love in some degree.
The Christian’s Impersonal love is not fully developed in Gate 5 of the Spiritual life but becomes stabilized in Gate 6 and maxi­mized in Gate 8. Personal love for God, which is the source of Spiritual self-esteem, is also the source of Impersonal love for all mankind.
In other words, Gate 5 of the Spiritual life precedes Gate 6. 
     /If someone should allege, “I love God,” and yet he hates his fel­low believer, he is a liar.
For he who does not love his fellow believer, whom he has seen, is not able to be loving God, *whom he has not seen.*//
Furthermore, we have this Command from Him, that he who loves God [Personal love for God, Gate 5 of the Spiritual life] should also love his fellow believer [Impersonal love, Gate 6.]/ (1Jn 4:20-21)
     The Spiritual life is necessary to the function of Impersonal love!
The Command to /“love your neighbor as yourself”/ implies that the Spiritual life is the essential foundation for Impersonal love.
(Matt 22:37-39; Mark 12:30-31; Gal 5:14) Then, as the believer advances Spiritually he builds the Spiritual muscle to comply with every Divine Command regarding Impersonal love for all mankind.
Increased capacity for Impersonal love is acquired through providential preventive suffering, which carries the believer into Spiritual autono­my.
Impersonal love is then tested through the people test as part of momen­tum testing on the way to Spiritual maturity.
Impersonal love is not indifference or a lack of compassion.
It is the Virtue and the core of all successful personal relationships in friendship or romance.
Impersonal love is a Virtue from God, attained in the fulfillment of the pro­tocol plan, whereas /human/ personal love is an expression of man’s ego.
Impersonal love emphasizes the Virtue, integrity and Spiritual growth of the subject; /human /personal love emphasizes the attractiveness and de­sirability of the object.
Impersonal love encompasses the entire human race; /human/ personal love is reserved for a few.
Impersonal love is sustained by Truth; /human  /personal love is sustained by rapport and mutual admiration.
Impersonal love is imperative, Commanded by God of all believers toward all mankind; /human/ personal love is optional and exclusive.
Impersonal love requires being in fellowship with God; personal love requires no qualifications — anyone can fall in love.
Impersonal love is a problem-solving device; /human/ personal love is a problem-manufacturing device.
While personal love for members of the human race can be a distraction to the believer’s relationship with God, Impersonal love for all mankind is a manifestation of Personal love for God as the highest motivation in life.
Im­personal love brings Virtue to all problems of love and hate, friendship and enmity, attraction and animosity.
Impersonal love perpetuates its own honor, Virtue and integrity without retaliation, reaction, prejudice, discrimination or revenge.
Impersonal love cannot be destroyed by hatred, persecution, unjust treatment, vindictiveness, or any other category of antagonism.
(1Co 13:1-8) Impersonal love is the effective basis for dealing with all mankind!
It is the quality of not allowing one’s personal feelings or emotions to motivate dis­courtesy and thoughtlessness.
Impersonal love is the mental attitude that does not react in a personality conflict but treats others on the basis of one’s own Spiritual honor and integrity, with objectivity.
Although Impersonal love begins to emerge in earlier stages of Christian growth, it is erratic prior to reaching Spiritual autonomy.
In fact, the distin­guishing quality of Spiritual autonomy is Impersonal love for all mankind.
An overview of the characteristics of Spiritual autonomy will describe the inner strength which animates Impersonal love.
CHARACTERISTICS OF SPIRITUAL AUTONOMY
     As the Christian advances in the Spiritual life, he utilizes available Divine omnipotence on a consistent basis in more areas of his life.
When com­pared with the qualities previously listed under Spiritual self-esteem, the more powerful characteristics of Spiritual autonomy reflect this greater utilization of Divine omnipotence.
1.
CONTINUATION OF CONTENTMENT.
The believer possesses in­creased capacity for happiness and tranquility of soul.
He can appreciate the grace of God at work in every circumstance of his life.
The believer’s hap­piness increases in strength and becomes more constant in each stage of Spiritual adulthood.
2.
PERPETUATED MENTAL STABILITY.
Mental attitude improves with each stage of Spiritual advance.
/He who gets wisdom [Truth] loves his own soul; [Spiritual self-esteem from metabolized Truth] he who cherishes under­standing prospers.
[Advances beyond Spiritual self-esteem to Spiritual autonomy]/ (Prov 19:8) 
     /Keep on having this Thinking in you which also resided in Christ Jesus.
/(Php 2:5) 
     The believer with Spiritual autonomy is no longer as vulnerable to pressure as he was upon first entering Spiritual adulthood.
He now has greater ability to concentrate so that he can apply Truth more consistently, in adversity as well as in prosperity.
3.
IMPERSONAL LOVE FOR ALL MANKIND.
The consolidation of Impersonal love is the most dramatic difference between Spiritual self-esteem and Spiritual autonomy.
Christian integrity enables the believer to treat all people on the basis of his own Virtue rather than borrow their strength or de­pend on their merits or attractiveness.
4. COGNITIVE SELF-CONFIDENCE.
In Spiritual self-esteem the knowl­edge factor was called Epistemological rehabilitation, the process of renewing the mind by the hundreds of Spiritual Thoughts the believer metabolized in Spiritual childhood.
In Spiritual autonomy the knowledge factor is cognitive self-confidence, which involves a more complete understanding of Truth from having utilized Divine problem-solving devices under providen­tial preventive suffering.
The Spiritually autonomous believer knows that Truth works!
He has greater confidence in God the Holy Spirit's ability to help him recall and accurately apply Truth (John 14:26) without distorting either the Truth or the ap­plication.
5.
GRACE ORIENTATION TO LIFE.
While Spiritual self-esteem also in­cludes grace orientation, Spiritual autonomy involves a deeper appreciation for the grace policy which God administers to all believers.
(Rom 5:17) Grace totally ex­cludes human effort, human strength, human merit and human ability.
(Rom 8:8) Human advantages do not contribute to the execution of the protocol plan of God.
(Php 3:4-6) The Christian way of life is a supernatural way of life demanding a supernatural means of execution.
The Spiritually autonomous believer understands his total dependence on Divine omnipotence.
(Rom 8:10-14) Orientation to God’s grace frees him from the last traces of legalism.
(Matt 15:8) With Spiritual autonomy he does not abuse the freedom that grace gives him!
Instead, he uses that freedom to comply with God’s will, purpose, and plan for his life!
(Matt 20:26-28; John 12:24-26; Luk 17:10) 
6.
DOCTRINAL ORIENTATION TO REALITY.
The utilization of the Spiritual life, keeps the believer on the path of God's Reality, and avoids any arrogant drive toward human unreality.
Because arrogance and subjectivity have been reduced to a minimum by providential preventive suffering, the Spiritually autonomous believer is able to habitually utilize the Spiritual life.
He enjoys the full effectiveness of all Divine problem-solving devices.
Spiritual autonomy is the summit of sani­ty and mental stability!
7.
GREATER DECISIONS FROM A POSITION OF STRENGTH.
Right Thinking (Truth) and right motivation (Personal love for God) lead to right decisions.
In each successive stage of Spiritual adulthood, the believer makes a higher percentage of good decisions.
More good decisions mean more right actions, fulfilling the Principle that a right thing must be done in a right way in order to be right!
In contrast, a right thing done in a wrong way is wrong, and a wrong thing done in a right way is also wrong.
A wrong thing done in a wrong way obviously is wrong.
Specifically, all Spiritual momentum and advance is a right thing done in a right way.
This is the essence of Divine protocol.
The basis for good decisions is the perception and metabolism of Truth; the good decision itself is the application of Truth!
We Think with God's Thoughts, and use His will, His desire, His nature, (2Pe 1:4) not our own, this is how we serve Him, no other way! (Job 36:11; Mal 3:18; (2Co 5:15)
8. PERSONAL CONTROL OF ONE’S LIFE.
The Spiritually autonomous Christian understands and accepts his own limitations.
He also recognizes that the grace provision of invisible assets has removed all limitations to his ad­vance to Spiritual maturity, which is the ultimate objective.
The advancing believer understands that he cannot manipulate others and at the same time maintain control over his own life.
No one can tamper with the decisions of others and be objective in his own decisions.
The Spiritually autonomous Christian, therefore, refrains from interfering in the lives of other people.
(Prov 9:6-12) Spiritual autonomy restrains jealousy, possessiveness, defensiveness, and the inordinate desire to dominate others.
Spiritual autonomy remains righteous without becoming self-righteous, and Virtuous without entering into crusader arrogance.
9.
A PERSONAL SENSE OF DESTINY.
In Spiritual autonomy the Christian becomes increasingly aware of his own destiny within the protocol plan of God.
*/God is his destiny!
/*God has designed a powerful plan for blessing him to the maximum, a plan that enables his life to glorify Jesus Christ both now and forever!
Once a believer is free from possessiveness and from seeking to control others, he can concentrate on exercising his God-given pre­rogatives within the framework of his own royal priesthood.
