Eberhard Arnold

“Truth is not a matter of knowing, but a matter of living.”

“We cannot be Christians part-time. We are either Christians or we are not.”

“Joy is the echo of God's life within us.”

“Faith is the courage to live as if everything that God has promised is true.”

“Where the Spirit of God is, there is the church, there is community. It is the power that unites.”

“The great revolution of the human heart is to be able to love others just as they are, not as we want them to be.”

“Our life is not a matter of our own personal salvation. We are not on earth to save our own souls. We are here to save the world.”

“Only he who is a friend is a man. Only he who is a brother is a Christian.”
