this
spirit,
which
proceeded
from
God,
returns
to
Him
as
its
end.
It
is,
then,
necessary
that
we
should
enter
this
way,
which
is
the
divine
motion,
and
the
Spirit
of
Jesus
Christ.
St
Paul
says,
"
If
any
man
have
not
the
Spirit
of
Christ,
he
is
none
of
His"
(Rom.
viii.
9).
To
be
Christ's,
then,
we
must
suffer
our-selves
to
be
filled
with
His
Spirit,
and
emptied
of
our
own
:
our
hearts
must
be
evacuated.
St
Paul,
in
the
same
place,
proves
to
us
the
necessity
of
this
divine
motion
:
he
says,
"
As
many
as
are
led
by
the
Spirit
of
God,
they
are
the
sons
of
God
"
(Rom.
viii.
14).
The
divinely
-imparted
Spirit
is
the
Spirit
of
divine
sonship;
therefore,
the
same
apostle
con-•
tinues,
**
Ye
have
not
received
the
spirit
of
bondage
again
to
fear
;
but
ye
have
received
the
spirit
of
adoption,
whereby
we
cry,
Abba,
Father"
(Rom.
viii.
15).
This
spirit
is
no
other
than
the
Spirit
of
Christ,
by
whom
we
participate
in
His
Sonship;
and
this
*'
Spirit
itself
beareth
witness
with
our
spirit
that
we
are
the
sons
of
God."
As
soon
as
the
soul
leaves
itself
to
be
moved
by
