Knowledge, beginning out of the mind, would have its cause and end out of the mind. Beginning with matter, knowledge could be resolved back into matter.
We believe the life in which the human spirit is to realize its nature fully and harmoniously was embodied in Jesus Christ, who was the word made flesh.
But it is because the spirit of man is essentially indestructible, that it has power to take hold of this life and assimilate it. If it refuses this divine embodiment of life, it brings disorder, and confusion, and everlasting sorrow to itself, but not destruction. The self-determining spirit is in its structure and constitution up to the style of life offered it in the Son of Man and the Son of God. In finding the life that was in Christ, it finds its own life, and enters the path of everlasting progress.
