„Love is the active, working principle in all true faith. It is its very soul, without which it is dead. “Faith works by love.”“

— Jonathan Edwards

„The inner work is first of all the work of God's grace in the depth of the soul which subsequently distributes itself among the faculties of the soul, in that of Reason appearing as Belief, in that of Will as Love, and in that of Desire as Hope. When the Divine Light penetrates the soul, it is united with God as light with light. This is the light of faith. Faith bears the soul to heights unreachable by her natural senses and faculties.“
— Meister Eckhart
