The Christian life is a life that consists of
following Jesus.
The first step toward a daily following of Christ, is the denying of self.
Many suppose they are followers of Christ, and yet ignore the path which He traveled. They imagine that may decline the unpleasant tasks of denying self and cross bearing and yet enter Heaven when they die. What a delusion!
The one who disregards God's commandments is not walking as Christ walked; instead, he is walking as the world walks.
