Spiritual Practice - from Eastern Hills
Ministry and Counsel:
Here is salvation for all:
“Nothing that is worth doing can
be achieved in our lifetime; therefore, we must be saved by hope. ...Nothing we
do, however virtuous, 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 it is from our standpoint. Therefore, we must be saved by the final form
of love, which is forgiveness.”
(Reinhold
Niebuhr)
Have you been saved by hope? By
love? By forgiveness?
How might you help another find
salvation through hope, love, and forgiveness?
