"Christ came chiefly for this reason: that we might learn how much God loves us, and might learn this to the end that we begin to glow with love of him by whom we were first loved, and so might love our neighbor at the bidding and after the example of him who made himself our neighbor by loving us."
— Augustine, quoted by Gary A. Parrett and S. Steve Kang in
Teaching the Faith, Forming the Faithful
(Downers Grove, Ill.: InterVarsity Press, 2009), 61
