“The invisible God, who once made himself visible in Christ, now makes himself visible in Christians, if we love one another. God is love in his essential being, and has revealed his love in the gift of his Son to live and die for us Now he calls us to be a community of love, loving each other in the intimacy of his family –especially across the barriers of age and sex, race and rank–and loving the world he loves in its alienation, hunger, poverty and pain. It is through the quality of our loving that God makes himself visible today. We cannot proclaim the gospel of God’s love with any degree of integrity if we do not exhibit it in our love for others.”
