15And then the people asked, What must we do that we may make our bodies fit abiding places for the king?
16And Jesus said, Whatever tends to purity in thought, and word, and deed will cleanse the temple of the flesh.
CHAPTER 79.
John explains to the multitude the mission of Jesus.
7I have performed the work that I was sent to do; the work of Jesus just begins.
8Then turning to the multitudes he said, Christ is the king of righteousness; Christ is the love of God; yea, he is God; one of the holy persons of the Triune God.
9Christ lives in every heart of purity.
10Now,
Jesus who is preaching at the Jordan ford, has been subjected to the
hardest tests of human life, and he has conquered all the appetites and
passions of the carnal man.
11And
by the highest court of heaven, has been declared a man of such
superior purity and holiness that he can demonstrate the presence of
the Christ on earth.
12Lo, love divine, which is the Christ, abides in him, and he is pattern for the race.
13And every man can see in him what every man will be when he has conquered all the passions of the selfish self.
14In water I have washed the bodies of the people who have turned from sin, symbolic of the cleansing of the soul;
15But Jesus bathes forever in the living waters of the Holy Breath.
16And Jesus comes to bring the savior of the world to men; Love is the savior of the world.
17And all who put their trust in Christ, and follow Jesus as a pattern and a guide, have everlasting life.
18But
they who do not trust the Christ, and will not purify their hearts so
that the Christ can dwell within, can never enter life.
CHAPTER 128.
16...Jesus told the twelve about the inner light that cannot fail;
17About the kingdom of the Christ within the soul...
CHAPTER 129.
6Where is your profit if you gain the world and lose your soul? What would you take in payment for your soul?
7If you would find the spirit life, the life of man in God, then you must walk a narrow way and enter through a narrow gate.
8The way is Christ, the gate is Christ, and you must come up by the way of Christ. No man comes unto God but by the Christ.
