God sent the Spirit of His Son into human hearts. This means obligation and authority; it means that all men who are gripped by this Spirit expel all other spirits from their entire sphere of life. The Spirit of unity wants community in all things. This spirit brings about unity among men, because it brings men into unity with God.

Mostly it is grain from many fields in different places that is baked together into one loaf. So we are many people; we have come together from many nations, from many different strata in society, from a variety of ideologies and traditions. We come from many different fields, but we are baked together in one loaf.

In the Church of the Spirit the believer’s heart is made pure and free from every deadly sin of selfish life, by community with the death of Christ. His heart is directed in righteousness towards God and His uniting kingdom. His body knows that he has been cleansed from deathly lusts in the baptism of faith. He stands in the unity of God’s life, in the certainty of God’s promise and assurance of perpetual life.

Jesus Christ is the revelation of God—of the God who in this revelation of His nature is the healer of the sick and of sinners. Whoever receives His Spirit and becomes a new man through his new birth is free, certain, open-hearted, clear and open-eyed. He is in possession of a power which enables him to fulfill the most difficult and impracticable tasks, even to do the impossible.
