“this love of God as demonstrated by Jesus is a totally undeserved love” (Volume 18, Page 25)
“Human love is a reflection of something in the divine nature. We are never nearer to God than when we love. Man is made in the image and likeness of God. Since God is love, for us to be like God, we must also love.’” (Volume 18, Page 24)
“When we look at Jesus we see two things about the love of God. First, it is a love that holds nothing back” (Volume 18, Page 25)
“The model of Jesus as Friend defines Jesus as one who offers affirmation of humanity as he works to bring about relationships which are characterized by mutuality and friendship in divine love and freedom—Jesus as Friend is a parable of God as Friend. Jesus as Friend is One who identifies with humanity in its suffering and joins with humanity in mutual empowering of persons to bring about a better existence.” (Volume 18, Page 2)
“Friendship combines respect with affection. One does not have to submit to a friend. One neither looks up to nor down at a friend.” (Volume 18, Page 5)
