God loves us despite our shortcomings and sins, and his love gives meaning to our lives and to the life of the world.
God's love for his people is so great that it turns God against himself, his love against his justice.
God no longer simply stands before us as the One who is totally Other. He is within us, and we are in him. His dynamic enters into us and then seeks to spread outward to others until it fills the world, so that his love can truly become the dominant measure of the world.
