Where is the devil in a colloquial phrase devil-is-in-the-details. Isn’t it Jesus christs love in the details?? TLDR “Yes”

by Larry Chiang on October 19, 2025

Where is the devil in the devil is in the details. Isn’t it Jesus christs love in the details
The phrase “the devil is in the details” means that small, often overlooked elements can cause significant problems or complexities. It emphasizes the importance of paying attention to the fine print or subtle aspects of a task or situation, as these can lead to errors or unintended consequences if ignored. The “devil” here is a metaphor for trouble or difficulty, not a literal reference to a religious figure.
Your suggestion of “Jesus Christ’s love in the details” flips the metaphor to a positive one, implying that careful attention to details reflects care, love, or divine precision. While this isn’t a common phrase, it could be a creative reinterpretation, emphasizing that meticulousness in work or life can be an expression of love, care, or even spiritual devotion. For example, in Christian theology, God’s attention to every detail of creation might be seen as an act of love, which could inspire such a phrase.
The original saying, though, is secular in origin, with roots in 19th-century English usage, possibly derived from an earlier phrase, “God is in the details,” attributed to architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, meaning precision in design matters. Neither phrase inherently references Jesus or the devil in a religious sense but uses them as symbolic language.
