Luther Word
We can say that love is the most delightful and the most perfect of the virtues, but this does not mean anything compared to our saying that God Himself is Love. Thus, if some one were to paint a true picture of God, he would have to find an image for pure love: it would be as if God’s nature were a fiery furnace of passionate love filling both heaven and earth. If we really could depict Love, we would have to create an image that was neither really human, nor angelic nor even celestial, but one which would have to be God Himself.
