It is the all-embracing Spirit of the Logos of Christ through which all things which exist came into being.

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.
