I am certain that we are facing our true task, which is very great and powerful. What we need is always one and the same, no matter what we call it: the baptism of the Spirit—perfect love—the works of purity and truth—Jesus Christ!

- Eberhard ArnoldThe good human urge is only capable of realizing community and justice if in its deepest depths it allows itself to be overpowered and ruled by God’s urge, by the impulse of his Holy Spirit, by Christ who becomes man, so that God’s kingdom, Christ’s kingdom may come! In our humanness we lack the right expectation of what is to come, in the sense that it is from God, from the other world, from the powers of the future, that the kingdom of justice must and will burst in upon us – not through the efforts of good people.

Everything you do, and how you do it, must show the one clear image which reveals the full love of Christ. Without a daily coming together, there can be no life in marriage or in the Church.

It is frightening and depressing when religion is misused to enslave and to rob the soul of its every freedom. How often does this happen! Nearly always and everywhere. It is the same with love. The noblest, purest and most divine becomes the lowest and meanest and most perishable, through the demonic powers that are released when this one area becomes a law to itself. God is freedom, deliverance from all slavery. We remain true to this watchword. It becomes ever clearer to me that all unfreedom is of the devil.
