'The Great Privilege of God': The Victory of Love Over Pain, Stavros S. Fotiou

Abstract: Pain in one or another form can defeat people. Facing pain through the Christian perspective, mankind can defeat it and pass the test as an opportunity for reassessment of their existential destination. Experiencing interpersonal bonds of freedom and love human beings can foretaste the new world of God, in which grief is replaced by joy.
