WHAT am I living for? Can I say, “The life that I live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me?” Nothing less than this is worthy of a Christian. It is a poor miserable thing to be content with being saved, and then to go on with the world, and live for self-pleasing and self-interest — to accept salvation as the fruit of Christ’s toil and passion, and then live at a distance from Himself, caring not for the furtherance of His cause — the promotion of His glory.
