How little can we say as Christ could, "I live by every word of God," everything in His moral nature being the expression of that word.
Does everything in you so flow from God, that your minds are merely channels of His word? That is Christian life. Is your life spent either in looking to God, or in coming forth from God? That is Christian. life.—Or, how far are you going on` merely holding your head just above water, that you may not be drowned, and may breathe the fresh air of heaven enough to preserve life?
