We all do not have the same awareness of God, Christian unity is not approached from the same angel; it expands or contracts within men in proportion as their hearts are in relationship with God.
Some do not feel it at all, other even deny it; it is a test of faith. Now the road to union with God is not a one-way street ending solely with God; on the return journey it leads back to one's neighbor, the stranger, one's enemy, and toward all creation; for he who unites himself to God undertakes by that very fact to consider how he shall unite himself to all, and to take no rest until that union has been accomplished. Now this road which leads to God and from him is found within man.
If, therefore, Christian unity is not realized at the present time, it is first; because man is seeking it before he has surrendered his whole heart and his whole soul and his whole mind to God. And second; because he is seeking it outside himself; that is to say, he is trying to realize it as a matter for discussion and not within himself.
If we desire a true unity, we must seek it and study it in God, in is presence, and not as some theoretical subject separated from God, whatever theological guise it may adopt.
The time has come for us to know the Christ of the whole world.
The Christ of the whole world was born for the sake of the whole world because He loved the whole world. And He shed His blood for the whole world. "He is the expiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world" (1 Jn. 2:2), for His blood cannot be worth less than the whole world. So why do we limit and restrict the love of Christ, and judge Him to be sufficient only for us and those who follow us?
This book is a very strong message for Christians of all churches and all nations, to unite in Christ.
