About This Product
We need to have Christ, not only as the object of our faith, but as the focus of our affections.
“We have lost CHRIST, maybe not as the object of faith, but as the object of affection. All declension begins here. With many of us it would seem to be enough to know Him as Savior. We are quite willing to use His sorrows and sufferings to separate us from our sins, but we do not want these to separate us from ourselves and from our surroundings. With the individual as with the Church, we are under the charge of ‘Thou hast left thy first love,’ and solemnly called to ‘Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen.’ There may be much in us that He can commend, but if He has lost His place in our hearts, if affections are alienated, we are “fallen.” Searching and solemn indictment! And what is His word to us? ‘Repent!’”
