Quote by Eberhard Arnold

If we become completely whole-hearted we will have love for all people and will seek in each person what is most holy, what God has inspired in him or her.

If we are not broadhearted, we have not yet grasped the meaning of faith. We must always be ready to be newly led in our faith, even through the tiniest atom of godliness we find in others. It is that which leads us to the kingdom of God. We affirm that there is something of God in all people -- something of the light. It may only gleam now, but it will eventually lead to complete illumination.

This acknowledgment of the divine in all individuals leads us towards the ultimate illumination and the kingdom of God.
