I agree completely. There's much in the NT, both gospels and epistles, that confirms this. And the companion thought is the necessity to "see Jesus" in the text, a la Heb. 2:9. Which is why WL's treatment of scripture could be so troubling.
If I just try to love people and ignore God's Messiah, revealed plainly to me in the Bible, then my love will eventually dry up. My concept of love will either drift away, or become stymied. God's love in Christ will endure forever.
