How important are the affections?

TEXT: "We should examine ourselves and learn what is the affection and purpose of the heart, for in this way only can we learn what we honestly are." (S&H)

AFFECTION definition in the 1828 Webster Dictionary: Desire; inclination; propensity, good or evil; as, virtuous or vile affections.

DISCUSSION: 

After referencing how "affection" is used in the textbook, be ready to say what the affections mean to you, and how that may be differentiated from love.

ALSO, please bring a suitable selection from the Bible.
