Conclusion

   是神的愛和他的恩典，讓愛他的人可以與他和好，享受他的愛，並且永遠以神為樂。（Because of God's love and grace, those who love him may have peace with him, enjoying his love and eternally rejoicing in Him）我們屬於他，且成為他那無條件愛的證人（We belong to Him and become His witnesses of unconditional love.）因為神救贖的愛，讓我們活著有動力和目的；我們可以對人的關懷和付出，是神先愛我們。（We live with purposes and motives because His redeeming love; and because He loved us first, we may care for others and give for others.）願我們擁抱神的愛，一生成為別人的祝福（May we embrace God's love and become a blessing to others in our lives.）
