4 Quotes by Eberhard Jüngel

  • Quote

    The God who is human in his divinity is the precise opposite of an essence which in ill-willed fashion closes itself to all human thought and knowledge... As love, rather, God is thinkable, without a distinction capable of made between essence and existence. Love is essentially existing lovingly.

    When love wins, then it wins in fact only through love. But those who love cannot guarantee the victory of love. One can believe in the victory of love only in the sense that one believes in the identity of God and love.

    Through God's grace we become those who believe and love. But in faith and love we who were once possessors become beings once more, and as such become those who are about to be, those whom God builds. We are taken away from ourselves to our own best advantage. Just for this reason we are free for the neighbor, free for the service of works.
