For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him may not perish, but may have eternal life. (John 3:16)
“Jesus Christ is true God,
Jesus Christ is true man,
in body, in soul and in divinity.
And he is ours, he is completely ours.
All of the life of Jesus Christ is ours,
all his merits are our merits,
all his virtues are our virtues.
Jesus Christ is mine, the Word made flesh in body, soul and divinity is mine,
and all the works he did here on earth are mine.
Jesus Christ is so completely mine that not even
God himself who gave him to me could take him away from me.”
