“If only we knew something of the glory and the wonder of this new life of righteousness, we should desire nothing else. Therefore let us look at the Lord Jesus Christ. That is how life should be lived, that is what we should be like. If only we really saw it. Look at the lives of His followers. Wouldn’t you really like to live like those men, wouldn’t you like to die like them? Is there any other life that is in any way comparable to it – holy, clean, pure, with the fruit of the spirit manifesting itself as ‘love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,, meekness, temperance.’ What a life, what a character. That is a man worthy of the name of man; that is life as it should be.”
-D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
