閱讀越悅讀 - The Crucified Life

"What I mean by 'the crucified life' is a life wholly given over to the Lord in absolute humility and obedience: a sacrifice pleasing to the Lord."

"The crucified life is a life absolutely committed to following after Christ Jesus. To be more like Him. To think like Him. To act like Him. To love like Him. The whole essence of spiritual perfection has everything to do with Jesus Christ. Not with rules and regulations. Not with how we dress or what we do or do not do. We are not to look like each other; rather, we are to look like Christ. We can get all caught up in the nuances of religion and miss the glorious joy of following after Christ. Whatever hinders us in our journey must be salt a deathblow."

"One important point may fail to understand is that the Bible was never meant to replace God; rather, it was meant to lead us into the heart of God."

"Among the thirtyfold Christians, there is much joy that they have been saved but no anticipation of continuing on the journey toward spiritual perfection. They are so happy they are not what they used to be that they cannot see what God wants them to be."

"Quite simply put, a Christian is one who sustains a right relationship with Jesus Christ. A Christian enjoys a kind of union with Jesus Christ superseding all other relationships."

(more to come...
keep praying for God Himself!!!!)
