Second. With respect to the degree of their love, it is perfect.
The love which is in the heart of God is perfect, with an absolute, infinite and divine perfection.
The love of the angels and saints to God and Christ is perfect in its kind, or with such a perfection as is proper to their nature, perfect with a sinless perfection, and perfect in that it is commensurate with the capacities of their natures.
So it is said in the text, when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away. Their love shall be without any remains of a contrary principle.
Having no pride or selfishness to interrupt or hinder its exercises, their hearts shall be full of love.
