"Christ came mainly for this reason: that we might learn how much God loves us, and might learn this to the end that we might begin to glow with love of him by whom we were first loved, and so might love our neighbour at the bidding and after the example of him who made himself our neighbour by loving us."
Augustine, quoted in L Gregory Jones, 'Baptism', in J J Buckley, D Yeago, Knowing the Tirune God. The Work of the Spirit in the Practices of the Church, (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2001), 168
