The Word of God was living before the first pages of the Bible were written. It was living at the beginning of all things.

- Eberhard Arnold From a letter, July 1922Our life will become not narrower, but broader; not more limited, but more boundless; not more regulated, but more abundant; not more pedantic, but more bounteous; not more sober, but more enthusiastic; not more fainthearted, but more daring; not worse and more human, but filled with God and ever better; not sadder, but happier; not more incapable, but more creative. All this is Jesus and His Spirit of freedom! He is coming to us. Therefore let us forget. Let us forgive everyone, just as we must be forgiven everything, and go into the future radiant with joy!

If we ask God earnestly that His will may become a fact on earth, that His nature may be revealed in work, that His rulership may lead men to unity, righteousness and love, then our life will become work. Faith without works is dead. Prayer without work is hypocrisy. The Lord’s Prayer without the way of God’s kingdom is a lie. The prayer of Jesus wants to bring us to the point where its words are turned into deeds, so that the prayer becomes action and history.

He who was put to an ignominious death is and remains the coming Lord of God’s future age. He who was dead has become alive again. The present age is facing its end. The greatest turning point which can occur in the history of the world and in the order of creation is imminent. Jesus will come for the second time with authority and glory. Then the rule of God shall be established over the whole earth.
