Flight Paths

That "the Father has sent his Son" is not only the chief test of doctrinal orthodoxy but also the supreme evidence of God's love and inspiration of ours.  The divine-human person of Jesus Christ, God's love for us, and our love for God and neighbor cannot be separated.  The theology which robs Christ of the Godhead, thereby robs God of the glory of his love, and robs us of the one belief that can generate a mature love within us. 

John Stott, Authentic Christianity
