• Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in our lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope.
• Nothing which is true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in the immediate context of history; therefore we must be saved by faith.
• Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore we are saved by love.

Reinhold Niehbur, Protestant theologian and author, The Irony of American History
