Francis Schaeffer Quotes

Jesus's first commandment was to love one another.

Loving God and loving one's neighbor are really the same thing.

On the question of relating to our fellowman - our neighbor's spiritual need transcends every commandment. Everything else we do is a means to an end. But love is an end already, since God is love.

Spiritual men have taken into their head something that is to be realized. They have concepts of love, goodness, and the like, which they would like to see realized; therefore they want to set up a kingdom of love on earth, in which no one any longer acts from selfishness, but each one 'from love.' Love is to rule.

Loving God is never separate from loving our brothers and sisters. It's always the same.

I've always been someone who's believed in truth. I believe truth exists. I don't believe in relativism, a 'your truth, my truth' kind of a thing. However, I also believe that the truth must always be spoken in love - and that grace and truth are found in Jesus Christ.

I believe in God, family, truth between people, the power of love.

Truth, according to the Christian faith, is God's love for us in Jesus Christ. Therefore, truth is a relationship.

As for what concerns our relations with our fellow men, the anguish in our neighbor's soul must break all precept. All that we do is a means to an end, but love is an end in itself, because God is love.

Christianity taught men that love is worth more than intelligence.

I doubt that the Lord cares much which honorable vocation you choose. But He does care if you love one another and serve one another.

No, the religion of Jesus is a social religion.

I know for sure that loves saves me and that it is here to save us all.

Love is what makes the world go around. I know it's a big cliche to use, but it is the absolute truth. There is nothing else like it. I know that is what everybody is striving to feel: in relationships, in brother- and sisterhood, and in all of the things that we aspire to have in our lives.

God is love, and love is love.

I think about love being so important because, to me, that's the reason we were put on Earth. Love, in a sense, is God to me.

We need to return to the simplicity that God is love.

To follow Jesus means to share his merciful love for every human being.

There can be no Christianity where there is no charity

To me God is truth and love, God is ethics and morality, God is fearlessness.

My religion is truth, love and service to God and humanity. Every religion that has come into the world has brought the message of love and brotherhood. Those who are indifferent to the welfare of their fellowmen, whose hearts are empty of love, they do not know the meaning of religion.

Brotherly love is still the distinguishing badge of every true Christian.

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God

My religion is, to live through Love.

The best practical advice I can give to the present generation is to practice the virtue which the Christians call love.
