To be a Christian
Consecration to God is nothing less than doing the will of Christ, rather than our own will — doing it always, whatever the cost, the sacrifice, or the danger.
There is too much mere pretense in our religion. We say that we believe in Christ; but if we truly do, we must follow Him wherever He leads, though we don't know where.
We say we love Christ, and from His lips comes the crucial test:
"If you love Me — keep My commandments."
To be a Christian is to be devoted utterly, and irrevocably, to Christ.
"And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple!" Luke 14:27
