"'God is love, and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.' This qualification must render the person that has it excellent and happy indeed, and doubtless is the highest dignity and blessedness of any creature. This is the peculiar gift of God, which he bestows only on his special favorites. As to silver, gold and diamonds, earthly crowns and kingdoms, he often throws them out to those whom he esteems as dogs and swine."
- Jonathan Edwards, Works, II:50
