The peace of God, as the future of the kingdom of God, must penetrate and hold complete sway over world conditions. He who believes in the all-commanding might of God is filled with courage and certainty for the victory of His peace. Faith in the peace of God is the courage of the heart that is confident of victory.

- Eberhard Arnold When the Time Was FulfilledMany will argue that as long as human beings are human, imperfections will result. Granted. But we should never let our longing for what is highest be held back by our imperfections. Herein lies the hope of Advent – a time when we look toward the day when all people shall become brothers and sisters because they are all children, sons and daughters of God. For in this one child, so helpless in the crib, a childlike spirit has been revealed on the earth. And this is the answer to life’s deepest and most difficult questions. He alone fulfills our innermost longing.

All spirits of human privilege and social injustice are repelled and driven out by the Holy Spirit. When we pray that God’s kingdom may come, we ought to pause and ask ourselves whether we are ready, whether we are willing to accept and to stand up for all the changes that God’s rulership brings with it.

If the word “faith” has any meaning, it is the certainty of what God—really God, not man—is and does. Faith belongs to God. It does not originate in man. It is God who gives faith and brings it about. The oneness of man with God consists in the faith that comes from God. Where community is given through faith, this community sets to work at a living activity which is God’s doing. In faith, God’s power is revealed through human helplessness, God’s greatness through human smallness.
