Summary

This quote emphasizes the reciprocal nature of one's relationship with Christ. It suggests that the amount of attention, importance, and devotion one places on Christ will directly impact how much recognition, presence, and significance Christ grants them in return. If an individual elevates and prioritizes Christ in their life, they can expect to receive a substantial response and blessings from Him. Conversely, if one diminishes the role and significance of Christ, they should not expect to enjoy the fullness of His favor and involvement in their life.

The function of the well-intentioned individuals in association is to live in accordance with those truths, to demonstrate what happens when theory is translated into practice, to create small-scale working models of the better form of society to which the speculative idealist looks forward.
