In low theologies, hell is invariably the deepest truth, and the love of God is not so deep as hell.

It is no longer a choice between violence and nonviolence in this world; it’s nonviolence or nonexistence.   —Martin Luther King Jr., “I See the Promised Land”

“Know it well, love was his meaning. Who showed it to you? Love. What did he show you? Love. Why did he show it? For love. Keep yourself therein and you shall know & understand more in the same. But you shall never know nor understand any other thing, forever.” Julian of Norwich

God is the one who saves us, and he does not depend on the quality of our knowledge of him, or of our abilities to follow him to save us.

When we reduce the meaning of Christ’s death and resurrection to the successful completion of a theological transaction, we can miss the fact that this was not a general legal settlement but a great and very personal display of love for each of us specifically as an individual friend accepted in union with the entire family of God. “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” —John 15:13 “No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything I have learned from My Father I have made known to you.” —John 15:15 “Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, ‘Abba! Father!’ Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.” —Gal. 4:6-7 “Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are!…” —1 John 3:1 “When I am raised to life again, you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.” —John 14:20, NLT

“. . . all through his life and resurrection, Jesus demonstrated the power of showing and sharing God's love. Every time I write a script or a song or walk into the studio, I pray 'Let some word that is heard be Thine.' That's really all that matters."

If you’ll hold on to me for dear life, says God, I’ll get you out of any trouble. I’ll give you the best of care if you’ll only get to know and trust me. Call me and I’ll answer, be at your side in bad times; I’ll rescue you, then throw you a party. bible.com/bible/97/psa.9…

“We’ve all had voices that we’ve carried with us as we grew. I remember the voice of Martin Luther King, Jr. warning against judging success by the value of our salaries or the size of our automobiles rather than by the quality of our relationships to humanity.” #MLK
