youtu.be/dwFkHqg6Dhw He who truly believes in Christ—has a special regard to the person of CHRIST Himself. It is written, Unto you who believe—Christ is precious (1 Peter 2:7). That text deserves especial notice. It does not say Christianity is precious, or the Gospel is precious, or salvation is precious—but Christ Himself! A true believers religion, does not consist in mere intellectual assent to a certain set of propositions and doctrines. It is not a mere cold belief of a certain set of truths and facts concerning Christ. It consists in union, communion, and fellowship with an actual living Person, even Jesus the Son of God. It is a life of . . . faith in Jesus, confidence in Jesus, leaning on Jesus, drawing out of the fullness of Jesus, speaking to Jesus, working for Jesus, loving Jesus, and looking for Jesus to come again. Such life may sound like enthusiasm to many. But where there is true faith, Christ will always be known and realized, as an actual living personal Friend! He who knows nothing of Christ as his own Priest, Physician, Redeemer, Advocate, Friend, Teacher, and Shepherd—knows nothing yet of genuine believing!
