Essential Doctrines

Essential Doctrines in the words of Eveyln Underhill

I come from God.  My essential being is an embryonic spiritual personality born of the Spirit of God.

I belong to God, not to myself or society.  ...[God's] absolute personality...is the possesser of my soul--my career, desires, health, and self-chosen work for [God] are second in importance.


I am destined for God, to grow and expand, not after death, but now, into a personality fit for...eternal adoration and service.  I am here to incarnate, in some degree, his holy purposes. And, to assure us of this, the figure of Christ has completely exemplified it....Christ has brought God's love and power to human souls.
