The religion of Jesus Christ

The religion of Jesus Christ. . . is the immediate, voluntary, trustful surrender of the heart to God

– a coming into union with Christ in confidence, affectionate obedience to do all His commandments

through the merits of Jesus Christ. It is a decisive act of the individual, committing to the Lord the

keeping of the soul. It is the climbing up by Christ, clinging to Christ, accepting the righteousness of

Christ as a free gift. The will is to be surrendered to Christ. Through faith in the righteousness of

Christ is salvation. 1888 281
