About This Quote

Social responsibility becomes an aspect not of Christian mission only, but also of Christian conversion. It is impossible to be truly converted to God without being thereby converted to our neighbor. Often we view the world as a competition between good and evil. This is not how God sees it.

The world is filled with those who are hurting, in need of love. We are all in this together, so let us love one another with God’s love.
