The new theories in regard to God <strong>and</strong> Christ,<br />

as brought out in "The Living Temple", are not in<br />

harmony with the teaching of Christ. The Lord<br />

Jesus came to this world to represent the Father. He<br />

did not represent God as an essence pervading<br />

nature, but as a personal being. Christians should<br />

bear in mind that God has a personality as verily as<br />

has Christ.<br />

Christ came to our world to restore in man the<br />

moral image of God. He came to bring fallen<br />

human beings power to obey God's<br />

comm<strong>and</strong>ments, that in them might be restored the<br />

divine character, that in their lives might be<br />

adorned with the holiness of God. Of those who are<br />

thus transformed in character it is said, "Now they<br />

desire a better country, that is, an heavenly,<br />

wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their<br />

God; for he hath prepared for them a city."<br />
