Remember now that the Word is life, and that Christ, as God, is “the Word of life.” He is “the life;” apart from Him there is no life at all; so that wherever there is any life there is evidence of the presence of God in Christ. That life in created things is pure or perverted, to the extent that Christ is allowed to have full sway, or the truth is held down in unrighteousness. EVCO 247.2
