Spurgeon's Song of Song Survey
Song of Songs – Unpurchaseable Love
Unpurchasable Love
Song of Solomon 8:7
Pastor’s Opening
THAT is a general truth, applying to all forms of real love; you cannot purchase love. If it is true love, it will not run on rails of gold. Many a marriage would have been a very happy one if there had been a tithe as much love as there was wealth; and, sometimes, love will come in at the cottage door, and make the home bright and blest, when it refuses to recline on the downy pillows of the palace.

Main Theme(s)
I. First, that THE LOVE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS ALTOGETHER UNPURCHASABLE.
II. My second remark is, that, IN OUR CASE, NOTHING CAN EVER SERVE AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR LOVE.
III. This takes us to a third truth, which is, that THE SAINTS LOVE IS NOT PURCHASED BY CHRIST’S GIFTS.
IV. The last observation I shall have to make upon our text is this, THE LOVE OF SAINTS CANNOT BE BOUGHT OFF FROM CHRIST AT ANY PRICE.
