Cyprian
What man is, Christ was willing to be – so that man may also be what Christ is.
Dwell in expectation of receiving what the Father has granted to the Son.
Clement of AlexandriaIt leads us to the endless and perfect end, teaching us beforehand the future life that we shall lead, according to God, and with gods; after we are freed from all punishment and penalty which we undergo, in consequence of our sins, for salutary discipline.
Teresa of AvilaChrist has no body now but yours, No hands, no feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes through which he looks With compassion on this world. Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good; Yours are the hands with which he blesses all the world. Yours are the hands; yours are the feet; Yours are the eyes; you are his body. Christ has no body now on earth but yours.
Bathsheba W. SmithWe are called upon by the still small voice, a whispering from our father, to work out our own salvation. Briefly the constructive parts of the plan of salvation are these: What man is, God once was; what God is now, man may become; the glory of God is intelligence. Nothing can be annihilated and no act lost. It is impossible to be saved in ignorance.
