In the view of this writer, then, the Christian religion is bound up with the moral law. No one can know so much of God that he is emancipated from the necessity of personal purity, self-control, 7O THE HEART OF THE CHRISTIAN MESSAGE common honesty, and the duties of common kindli- ness and humanity. Such errors in the theory of conduct are in the writer's view closely bound up with errors of theo- logy. The men who deny that Jesus has come in the flesh as the Messiah, deny the Father as well a...s the Son he declares (ii. 22, 23). He means that these men have entirely misconceived the nature of God. They have thought of Him as a Being far away, too holy to come into contact with corrupt matter ; too superior to be touched with any feeling for human infirmity. They have missed altogether the fundamental fact of the Christ-likeness of God. Their views of life were false because their views of God were wrong. The necessities of the situation led this great thinker to assert the necessity of belief in the Mes- siahship of Jesus that Jesus is the Christ ; for one cannot believe in the Christ-likeness of God the goodness and kindness of God unless he believes in the intimate relation of Jesus to God, and accepts Christ as the revelation of the Father.
