Only God is to be loved for His own sake. Everything else is to be loved for God's sake.

God, Sake

Peter Kreeft (2009). “The God Who Loves You: Love Divine, All Loves Excelling”, p.134, Ignatius Press

The Church is God's Bride. All the saints and mystics say the ultimate purpose of human life, the highest end for which we were made, is the Spiritual Marriage. This is not socially relative; it is eternal. And in it, the soul is spiritually impregnated by God, not vice versa. That is the ultimate reason why God must always be he to us, never she. Religion is essentially heterosexual and therefore fruitful.

God, Spiritual, Soul

If we turn to the divine Conductor and follow the wise and loving baton that is His will, His Word, then the music of our life will be a symphony.

God, Wise, Symphony

Peter Kreeft (2009). “The God Who Loves You: Love Divine, All Loves Excelling”, p.14, Ignatius Press

When we believe that God is something other than a lover, it is inevitable that we will sin.

God, Believe, Lovers

To God each one of us is His favorite. God's love comes to all, but it comes to all as each, not to all as some anonymous aggregate.

God, God's Love

Peter Kreeft (2009). “The God Who Loves You: Love Divine, All Loves Excelling”, p.84, Ignatius Press

The love of God is no human projection, but the wrath of God is. In fact, what we call the wrath of God is really the love of God experienced by a fool.

God, Wrath, Fool

God is not pre or post anything. He is present to everything. ... There is not predestination but destination, not predestiny but destiny. This follows from divine omniscience and eternity.

God, Destiny, Eternity

Peter Kreeft (2004). “The God who Loves You: "love Divine, All Loves Excelling"”, p.149, Ignatius Press

God is love. Wraith is how His love appears to us when we sin or rebel or run away from Him. The very light that is meant to help us appears to us as our enemy when we seek the darkness.

God, Running, Light

Like white light refracted through a prism and split into many colors, God's eternal love-nature, expressed through the prism of time, becomes God's multicolored love story. History is His story.

God, Light, Color

Peter Kreeft (2009). “The God Who Loves You: Love Divine, All Loves Excelling”, p.74, Ignatius Press

Christ is the Word of God in person. The Bible is the Word of God in writing. Both are the Word of God in the words of men. Both have a human nature and a divine nature.

God, Writing, Men

Peter Kreeft (2004). “The God who Loves You: "love Divine, All Loves Excelling"”, p.111, Ignatius Press

God's love is as objective as light. Because the sun in a sense is light, or the source of light rather than being lit, it really gives its light to the earth. And because the earth really receives light from the sun, it is really transformed every morning from darkness to light. Just as objectively, because God is love, God really gives love to us. And because we receive real life-changing love from God, we are really transformed from darkness to light.

God, Morning, Real

Peter Kreeft (2009). “The God Who Loves You: Love Divine, All Loves Excelling”, p.20, Ignatius Press

God is a person [in Christ]. A person can be known only by personal understanding, not impersonal understanding. Personal understanding takes place through love, caring, willingness, intimacy, and relationship.

God, Caring, Understanding

Peter Kreeft (2009). “The God Who Loves You: Love Divine, All Loves Excelling”, p.109, Ignatius Press

God's wraith is really only the face of love refused.

God, Faces, Wraith

Our destiny is to be so intimately united with God that, as the mystics say, we not only see God's face but also see with God's face.

God, Destiny, Faces

Peter Kreeft (2009). “The God Who Loves You: Love Divine, All Loves Excelling”, p.21, Ignatius Press
