He makes a decisive break with any notion that human beings cooperate, even at a minimal level, in their relationship with God. The self does not initiate a relationship with God nor does the self cooperate with grace in an ongoing attempt to complete a process begun by faith and only fulfilled by love. For Luther, divine love is dynamic, powerful, and even dangerous. He therefore needs a language to express the disruptive and surprising character of God\u2019s active presence in human life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lutheranquarterly.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/01_LUT_37-2_Tranvik_125-135.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HERE<\/a> to read more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Martin Luther\u2019s radical and revolutionary understanding of God\u2019s<br \/>\nlove in Christ entails a new kind of theological language.
