If you were writing these principles today, in what ways would you emphasize some of them over others?
I would start with the incarnation and try to be more emphatic about what happened when God became a human being. I would elaborate upon it and show how everything is a reflection of Christ assuming our identity when He became man. Then, after going through the other principles, I would leave impartation to the end because that is where the promise of the Great Commission comes into focus, when Jesus said, “I’ll be with you all the way, even unto the endof the age.” This is the promise of Christ’s command, which assures us we can live it out in our lives. Without the Spirit of Christ in us, we’re helpless, but when He’s with us, we can live outChrist’s commission by grace. That’s why I would end on the note of impartation, seeking to give it more emphasis. Apart from the Spirit of Christ, we’re hopeless. There’s nothing more pathetic than trying to do the work of God in your own strength and wisdom
