“You see, we have essentially four things here: First, the vision of God; secondly, the utter collapse of self; thirdly, a new and higher service; and lastly, a doubled fruitfulness.” (Page 19)
“Then grace works transformingly by the power of new and exalted ideals. The whole conception of life is changed. Under the old bondage life was conceived of as a possession which man might rightly use for himself; under the new ideal life is precious because it may be used for the blessing of others. The new man in Christ has accepted as the new ideal of his new life Christ’s law of sacrifice. He heartily adopts Christ’s formulae: ‘The Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many’; ‘He that will save his life shall lose it, but he that will lose his life for my sake, shall find it’; ‘Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone, but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.’” (Pages 53–54)
“most astonishing thing of all happened. God took up the vindication and restoration of the man who abhorred himself!” (Page 18)
“ but it was the vision of God Himself which, flooding his inner being, brought the humbling, hateful vision of self.” (Page 18)
“The old man under the new gospel is to be crucified with Christ, not improved by higher ideals.” (Page 25)
