What They Said

“The life of Christianity doth consists very much in our love to Christ. Without love to Christ, we are as much without spiritual life as a carcass when the soul is fled from it is without natural life.  Faith without love to Christ is a dead faith, and a christian without love to Christ is a dead christian; dead in sins and trespasses.  Without love to Christ we may have the name of Christians, but we are wholly without the nature;  we may have the form of godliness, but are wholly without the power. "Give me thine heart!" is the language of God to all the children of men, Proverbs 23:26; and "Give me thy love!" is the language of Christ to all His disciples.”
