Excerpt from Christian Character: A Study in New Testament Morality

Christian character, therefore, declares the mind of God in the creation of man. This is man v as God meant him to be. There is no worthier ambition for man than to enter into God's mind regarding him, and to make God's design for him his own resolute endeavour. To become what God would have him be ought to be the passion of man's heart. Any conception of life, even though it be couched in religious phraseology, which falls short of this, is inadequate and misleading. Any representation of Christianity, which makes it pos sible for a man to imagine that he can be right with God when he is not pressing forward to the realisation of God's aim, is false and harmful. To deny that character is the be-all and end-all of religion is worse than intellectual error. Intel lectual error may not touch the springs of spiritual life. Moral stagnation is death.

It behoves young men and women, therefore, in uniting themselves with the Christian Church.
