Known And Loved

"I heard Dr. Tim Keller once define the gospel as these two tensions held together simultaneously: "fully known and fully loved". I had always hoped this idea would meander its way into a song, and when David and Freddy and I got together at a Common Hymnal writing retreat, it's what we decided to chase. Keller says that to be fully known but not fully loved is rejection, and to be fully loved but not fully known is sentimentality. Only in the gospel are we completely known and completely loved at the same time, and that, well that is heaven.” (Matt Papa)
