All essential knowledge relates to existence, or only such knowledge as has an essential relationship to existence is essential knowledge.

For love is exultant when it unites equals, but it is triumphant when it makes that which was unequal equal in love.

To the Christian, love is the works of love. To say that love is a feeling or anything of the kind is an unchristian conception of love. That is the aesthetic definition and therefore fits the erotic and everything of that nature. But to the Christian love is the works of love. Christ's love was not an inner feeling, a full heart and what not, it was the work of love which was his life.

For he who loves God without faith reflects on himself, while the person who loves God in faith reflects on God.

Christ has not only spoken to us by his life but has also spoken for us by his death.

...a human being not only can choose but... he must choose... for in this way God retains His honor while at the same time has a fatherly concern for humankind. Though God has lowered Himself to being that which can be chosen, yet each person must on his part choose. God is not mocked. Therefore the matter stands thus: If a person avoids choosing, this is the same as the presumption of choosing the world.

Love believes all things and yet is never deceived.
