Jesus repeatedly challenges us to work while it is still day. He compares his kingdom to labor in a vineyard, to the working investment of moneys entrusted to one, to the good use of all one’s talents. If God’s kingdom is to transform the “vale of tears” into a realm of joy, then it must be a kingdom of work. Work alone befits the destiny of man’s spirit.

- Eberhard Arnold On the Struggle of Young People in the Problem of LoveTrue community of marriage can move only from unity of spirit through the emotional into the physical. It can live, therefore, only in faithfulness, only and solely in steadfast, everlasting unity. This is possible only under the rulership of the Spirit. Only out of this can physical purity be desired. Only when the emotions are ruled by the Spirit can freeing and purification become reality.

The kingdom of God is truly God’s kingdom and not the kingdom of men. It is the kingdom of the heavens and not the kingdom of the earth. This means that this kingdom is not determined by, nor is it created by, nor does it come about through the working of the humans or the limits and barriers of our earthly space and the short span of our past, present, and future in time. This kingdom of God has its source where neither human limitations nor the limits of space or time is decisive.

God wants to reveal himself in order to establish his kingdom over all worlds, including the world of this earth. He wants to reveal it as a kingdom of peace in operation, a kingdom of active work, of brotherliness, of the justice that goes with complete unity and penetrates right into material things. We expect this kingdom as a kingdom of the future of God. It does not grow from earthly foundations. Rather, it comes like the sunrise from the east. It takes hold of the earth completely and universally.
