Quote by Abraham Kuyper

When the principles that run against your deepest convictions begin to win the day, then the battle is your calling, and peace has become sin. You must at the price of dearest peace lay your convictions bare before friend and enemy with all the fire of your faith.

When the principles that run against your deepest conviction

Summary

This quote suggests that when the values and principles that oppose our core beliefs and convictions start prevailing around us, it is our duty to engage in a battle to defend what we believe in. In such a situation, maintaining peace would be considered a wrongdoing or a sin. Instead, we must be ready to sacrifice our personal peace and boldly express our convictions to both our friends and enemies, fueled by the fervor and faith in our beliefs.

...to be in a relationship with God is to be loved purely and furiously. And a person who thinks himself unlovable cannot be in a relationship with God because he can't accept who God is; a Being that is love. We learn that we are lovable or unlovable from other people...That is why God tells us so many times to love each other.
