Discipleship means adherence to Christ, and, because Christ is the object of that adherence, it must take the form of discipleship. An abstract Christology, a doctrinal system, a general religious knowledge on the subject of grace or on the forgiveness of sins, render discipleship superfluous.
– Dietrich Bonhoeffer –
The ultimate goal of Jesus for His disciples was that His life be reproduced in them, and through them into the lives of others.
– Robert Coleman –
May God so fill us today with the heart of Christ that we may glow with the divine fire of holy desire.
– AB Simpson –
Live to be forgotten, so Christ can be remembered.
– DE Hoste –
It is no loss to lose all but Jesus.
– Charles Spurgeon –
You can never learn that Christ is all you need, until Christ is all you have.
– Corrie ten Boom –
God gives His own self totally to us that we may offer ourselves completely to Him.
– Watchman Nee –
Live entirely upon Christ. Living by feelings is a deadly form of life.
– Charles Spurgeon –
That God might be manifested in the Christ, it may even be that sin was permitted. Assuredly, there could have been no sacrifice on Calvary if there had not first of all been sin in Eden. The whole scheme, the whole of God’s decrees and acts, worked up to the consummation of an atoning Savior.
– Charles Spurgeon –
