Perfect love. It means love that goes on doing until there isn't any more to be done, and that goes on suffering until it can't suffer any more.

No one, who will recognize and believe what God has done, needs to suffer eternal judgment. Everyone has a way to escape. In a sense, as Sartre suggests, the doors of hell are locked from the inside; the horror of a soul hating the loving salvation of God deserves exactly what he gets—eternal punishment.

Inasmuch as the history of salvation is a unified reality—stretching from the far reaches of biblical history through the life of God's People in both testaments, and extending even to the event of the Lord's Second Coming—the Church has consistently believed, from the time of the Apostles, that the Old Testament Scriptures continue to function as our "instructor unto Christ" (Gal. 3:24).
