God loves us for who we are and without regard for our résumé. His love is not improved by the good things we do, nor is it diminished by the bad.
“the function of the Spirit is to lead us into all truth. Now, truth is a Person and that Person is Jesus. Thus, at a deeper level, the Advocate works both in and for us, bringing us into recognition of our essential Christ-union.”

“Christ’s church is composed of people. These people are very much alive. We do well to view ourselves as what we are—a people. Instead of thinking in terms of static things such as buildings or institutions, we more accurately and beneficially think of Christ’s body as a thriving, growing mass of humanity that loves Jesus.”

“Love is the all-or-nothing of the kingdom of God. Above all we are to love (Col. 3:14; 1 Peter 4:8). Everything we do is to be done in love and, thus, communicate love (1 Cor. 16:14). We are to imitate God by living in Christlike love (Eph. 5:1–2), and if we do this, we fulfill the whole law (Matt. 22:37–40; Rom. 13:8–10). If we lack this, everything else we do is devoid of kingdom value, however impressive it might otherwise be (1 Cor. 13:1–3).”
