But the gospel requires more than the formation of words, more than the ability to repeat so many texts from memory. But Christians are forged on the anvil of commitment rather than by any method of passive relinquishment.
Decision is a much-abused word.
If it comes easy, it is most likely to be false. Deciding to live for Christ is no easy matter. It involves the most ruthless examination of oneself and an equally total commitment. It is a very personal affair. True Christians are lovely in their lives, kindhearted, generous, just in their dealings, honest to a penny, and in their allegiance to God and to His will, true as steel.
