SearchA New Religion of Active Forgiveness and Love
Pentecost, with its spiritual endowment, was designed forever to loose the religion of the Master
from all dependence upon physical force; the teachers of this new religion are now equipped
with spiritual weapons. They are to go out to conquer the world with unfailing forgiveness,
matchless good will, and abounding love. They are equipped to overcome evil with good, to
vanquish hate by love, to destroy fear with a courageous and living faith in truth. Jesus had
already taught his followers that his religion was never passive; always were his disciples to be
active and positive in their ministry of mercy and in their manifestations of love. No longer did
these believers look upon Yahweh as ―the Lord of Hosts.‖ They now regarded the eternal Deity
as the ―God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ.‖ They made that progress, at least, even if they
did in some measure fail fully to grasp the truth that God is also the spiritual Father of every
individual.
