There is only one sense in which a man can be a Christian. This is the inner sense, which for this very reason works at the same time upon all that is external. One can be a Christian only when he has experienced within his own heart the decisive word about Christ’s nearness.

- Eberhard Arnold The Prayer God AnswersIn Jesus, God has opened his heart to us. He has turned his face to us. He comes to us, reveals his thoughts, and shows us who he is and what he wills. He gives us everything we need and wants to perfect the work he has begun in us. Amazingly, we feeble and insignificant beings are the object of his concern. Out of the incomprehensible love of his heart, God loves each of us quite personally. In his concern for humankind, God seeks out all people and invites them to take part in his new creation.

Nothing but a last, deepest inward revival, a great, full awakening to God and to His all-determining rule, will be instrumental in carrying into the whole world the Gospel, the glad message of Christ and His unique importance.

With the Crucified we undergo a death that liberates us from everything which makes community with God impossible. When we are surrendered to the judgment of Jesus’ death we become one with the heart of God in a new life. God breaks in. The new life begins. Evil comes to an end. Good begins. The light of Jesus Christ is the new life of perfect unity. Everything that is without community and opposed to community is darkness and coldness; it is turned away from the glowing light of Jesus.
