Infinity is a simple concept for having no limits. My blog yesterday started with a quote from Jesus saying something quite unpopular: rich people can't be saved. Although we can talk about infinity, God and salvation, by definition they are things beyond our limited, mortal and pagan comprehension.
While we are not disturbed by infinity or zero (both completely abstract but necessary states in mathematics and science), there is much much much controversy about God and salvation. Since they are a matter of belief, it's up to each person to work out their conviction. The philosophical term is a priori.
Since infinity, God and salvation are mysteries and beyond our grasp, we can only try to understand. Similarly: love, commitment and trust are also abstract but can be experienced: a posteriori. I think the evidence of love/commitment/trust are evidence that infinity/God/salvation exist. Not sure why but it makes sense to me.
