“Let therefore this PURE LOVE OF CHRIST prompt thee to all that is good; let this be the motive of mortifying thy flesh with all its desires: and let the remembrance of that death which he most willingly accepted for thee, make thee willing to lay down thy life for him; and out of sincere gratitude for all his inestimable benefits, to accept the cross at his hand, and to resist sin and the world even unto blood.” JesusChristChristianityGratitudeMortification Of Sin Book:Johann Arndt: True Christianity Source: Johann Arndt: True Christianity
“Give me ... a compassionate heart, quickly moved to grieve for the woes of others and to active pity for them, even as our Lord Jesus Christ beheld our poverty and hasted to help us. Give me grace ever to alleviate the crosses and difficulties of those around me, and never to add to them; teach me to be a consoler in sorrow, to take thought for the stranger, the widow, and the orphan; let my charity show itself not in words only but in deed and truth.” GivingHeartHelpingShowsJesusChristChristianityLordPovertyTeachGraceSorrowJesus ChristCrossesGive MeDifficultyMovedAddCharityDeedsStrangerActivePityGrievingCompassionateWoeOur LordWidowsOrphanLord Jesus ChristAlleviateOur Lord Jesus Christ Author:Johann Arndt
