Nothing worth doing is completed in your life time,
Therefore, we are saved by hope.
Nothing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense
in any
immediate context of history;
Therefore,
we are saved by faith.
Nothing we do, however victorious, can be accomplished alone
Therefore,
we are saved by love.
No virtuous act is quite as virtuous from the standpoint
of our
friend or foe as from our own;
Therefore we are saved from the final form of love which
is
forgiveness
~
Reinhold Niebuhr
