“Christianity is not just receiving blessings from God. Christianity is having God all the time. He promised to be with us always, and never to forsake us because we are so precious to Him. It is not enough to know about Him, you must know Him. “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” John 17: 3. It is not just receiving the truth about Jesus, it is receiving Jesus, as the truth, in His very person. It is more than receiving the law on stone tablets as the standard of righteousness, it is receiving Jesus into my heart who is the very personification of the law.”
(J.W. Lehman, Christ Our Righteousness, p. 314)
