“Even as we need to look to the first Adam and his fall to know the power of the sin within us, we need to know well the Second Adam and His power to give within us a life of humility as real and abiding and overmastering as has been that of pride.

We have our life from and in Christ, as truly, yea more truly, than from and in Adam. We are to walk ‘rooted in Him’, ‘holding fast the Head from whom all the body…increaseth with the increase of God’. The life of God which in the Incarnation entered human nature is the root in which we are to stand and grow; it is the same almighty power that worked there, and thence onward to the Resurrection, which works daily in us.

Our need is to study and know and trust the life that has been revealed in Christ as the life that is now ours and waits for our consent to gain possession and the mastery of our whole being.”
