10/15 The one great word of that gospel is Faith--not faith in a formula or an institution, but faith in the absolute supremacy of spirit. Faith in spirit means power--power over circumstance, power over matter, power over the heredity of our animal origin. Jesus not only sets men free from the prison-house of material delusion, as Plato and others sought to do; He teaches them the way in which alone they can exercise spiritual dominion. Faith, as Jesus employed that term, meant _making use of belief_--belief that the spiritual alone is the real. |
