German Theology Quotes

“.... a soul filled with the spirit of love cannot get stuck in individualism (which is the starting point), let alone in the private sphere of subjectivism. This soul, impressed by events in God’s history, will gain power in its innermost depths from the Holy Spirit to intervene in history, making God’s kingdom a reality.”
― Eberhard Arnold, The Inner Life (Inner Land #1)

“The kingdom of God draws near over all the earth. God is near wherever a complete reversal of all things is sought–the reversal that brings his rule with it. His kingdom has no territorial boundaries.”
― Eberhard Arnold, The Inner Life (Inner Land #1)

“Every impoverishment and sickening of our inner being means a loss of warmth and depth, a loss that shows up plainly in all our efforts and activities. Every healing of the inner life leads to loving sacrifice, that is, to purer and more vigorous action.”
― Eberhard Arnold, The Inner Life (Inner Land #1)
