Excerpt from Christian Doctrine Harmonized: And Its Rationality Vindicated If, as we have seen, the results of the atoning work of Christ are primarily manifested and, in a sense, summed up and completed in his person, and thus is exhibited the only possible way in which human nature is to be restored, and is furnished the absolute and solitary method now remaining for the realization of the human ideal, - the process must be repeated in each individual who is or can be grafted into this new stock, and thus connected with the fount of the regenerative forces. Man's heart, mind, and body are to be reached, and thus his will, the focussing of the three, to be purified and strengthened, and his perfection ensured. And the organism, - the totality, - the Church, is to exhibit the same process, whether or not it be identical with the primal human stock, or a providential election from it. The story of Jesus Christ must then be repeated in every Christian disciple, and be capable of description, as was his.
