 Jesus Wants Us to Be True Christians Following His Footsteps ㅡ

 “And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.”

 (Galatians 5:24)

Many who profess the name of Christ and claim to be looking for His speedy coming, know not what it is to suffer for Christ’s sake.

 Their hearts are not subdued by grace, and they are not dead to self, as is often shown in various ways.

 At the same time they are talking of having trials.

 But the principal cause of their trials is an unsubdued heart, which makes self so sensitive that it is often crossed.

 If such could realize what it is to be a humble follower of Christ, a true Christian, they would begin to work in good earnest and begin right.

 They would first die to self, then be instant in prayer, and check every passion of the heart.

 Give up your self-confidence and self-sufficiency, brethren, and follow the meek Pattern.

 Ever keep Jesus in your mind that He is your example and you must tread in His footsteps. 

 (Early Writings 113.2)
