( Excerpts From William Law ) The greatest part of Christians are asleep. Given mostly to a life devoted to this world. Making it a vanity and a delusion. Some however, take on the Spirit of Prayer and a closeness to God in which case the Soul rises out of the vanity of time and into the riches of Eternity. All our salvation consists in the manifestation of the nature, life, and spirit of Jesus Christ, in our inward new man. This alone is Christian redemption, this alone delivers from the guilt and power of sin, this alone redeems, renews, and regains the first life of God in the soul of man. Everything besides this, is self, is fiction, is propriety, is own will, and however colored, is only thy old man, with all his deeds.
