To be a Christian is to believe all that Christ teaches, and to do all that Christ directs, so far as both are understood.It is to receive all that Christ says as true, and to treat it as true, and to act upon it as true, because it is right, and God commands it, and that we may be saved.
Tryon Edwards.

Every occupation, plan, and work of man, to be truly successful, must be done under the direction of Christ, in union with his will, from love to him, and in dependence on his power.
Muller.
Christ is the great central fact in the world’s history; to him everything looks forward or backward. All the lines of history converge upon him. All the march of providence is guided by him. All the great purposes of God culminate in him. The greatest and most momentous fact which the history of the world records ins the fact of his birth.
Spurgeon.
The Christian faith reposes in a person rather than a creed. Christ is the personal, living center of theology, around which the whole Christian system is ensphered. Christ is the personal source of the individual Christian life; the personal head of the whole Christian church; the personal sovereign of the kingdom of grace.
R.B.Welch.
That there should be a Christ, and that I should be Christless; that there should be a cleanising, and that I should remain foul; that there should be a Father’s love, and I should be an alien; that there should be a heaven, and I should be cast into hell, is grief embittered, sorrow aggravated.
Spurgeon.
Let it not be imagined that the life of a good Christian and gloominess; for he only resigns some pleasure to enjoy others infinitely better.
Pascal.
