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.

- Eberhard Arnold Invitation to Whitsun Conference, 1920That great new thing which is germinating and sprouting everywhere has not yet taken shape. We know that a strong religious wave is in the process of growing. We know that it is the Spirit of Christ which storms over us as anew, fresh wind, though we cannot or will not say whence it comes or whither it goes. It is the Spirit of the same Jesus who brought into reality a life and death of complete and unconditional love. It is the all-embracing Spirit of the Logos of Christ through which all things which exist came into being.

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.
