“Creation is the result, but not the beginning of love. Redemption is the manifestation of God as love, and therefore points to a love of absolute necessity and eternity. God is love, not God became love... It is this love that we are planted by the incarnation, death, and resurrection of Jesus.”
Adolph Saphir“Eternity is to us as time, the age to come, the continuation, the manifestation, and perfection of our present and true existence.”
