While reading I noticed the word "love" came up every so often. One point John 3:16 covered, was loving one another. It also mentioned the way we know love is that Jesus laid down his life for us; so we should lie down our lives for our brothers and sisters. This meant we should try to become more selfless and put others before ourselves. In Embracing an Alternative Orthodoxy, it also commented on love, when it described how God loved everything he created. I contemplated back and forth with this one because if God loved everything he created, does he love the criminals too? Many times I have heard that God loves everyone no matter what, but it’s hard to wrap my mind around that thought. Criminals cause tragedies but still God loves and forgives them.

In paragraph A Dance of Love, I learned that perichoresis refers to the relationship among each person of the triune God. Another thing I learned was Incarnation was the best work of the entire history of salvation. As I let that sink in, it made me think about Jesus dying for us. He was incarnated, or made flesh, so He could save us from our sins. How cool that is, I had thought to myself. I found it rather interesting when, A Plan for the Fullness of Time mentioned, God chose believers before the groundwork of the world. His plan was the coming of Christ. All things would not only find their beginning in Christ but were held together in him and would be rewarded in God through Christ. When I thought about how God had chosen believers before the world was made, I got the chills. To know that I was chosen as one of those believers is such a cool thought. Perceiving to be accepted and wanted is something everyone has wanted to feel before. By loving and following God, He has already accepted
