The new future brings to an end all existing ruling powers, all systems of law and property. The coming kingdom of God is already revealed as unity in the perfect love of God, and therefore as devoted brotherhood of men. Jesus proclaimed and brought God alone, God’s coming rule and empire alone. Jesus founded neither churches nor sects.

If only our hearts were completely gripped by this! Surely after the unbelievably horrible and alarming news we have heard, we should all stretch out our hands toward what is to come. Let us ask that at last the world may be redeemed from all the horrors, and the dawn of the new day may break, even though the darkness of judgment must precede it.

The age of God lies in the future; but it has already been revealed. Its nature and its power have become personal and historical in Jesus. They have been shown forth in His words. They have fought through to victory in His life work.

Because the believer has himself recognized, in the word of truth and in the life and deeds and death of Jesus, that holiness in which the love of God is dwelling, he is constantly aware of what separates and divides men from this unity which is the only source of life. He must thank God anew for the certainty that his sin is taken away and forgiven by God himself. He is one with God and His Church through the victory of Jesus over the evil deeds of the demonic powers of self. He goes to meet God in complete confidence.
