Love of benevolence is that disposition which a man has who desires or delights in the good of another. And this is the main thing in Christian love, the most essential thing, and that whereby our love is most of an imitation of the eternal love and grace of God, and the dying love of Christ, which consists in benevolence or good will. And therefore the angels at the birth of Christ, as in Luke 2:14, sang, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will towards men." So that the main thing in Christian love is good will, or a spirit to delight in, and seek the good of those who are the objects of that love. - WJE 8:213
