Nothing that is worth doing
can be achieved in our lifetime;
therefore, we must be saved by
hope.
Nothing which is true or beautiful or good makes complete sense
in
any immediate context of history;
therefore, we must be saved by
faith.
Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished
alone;
therefore we are saved by love.
