Oswald J. SmithTo be a Christian for ten year and to be no more like Jesus then than at the time of conversion, is a tragedy.
About This Quote
To live as a Christian and not become like Jesus after time is spent studying the Bible, praying and reading the Word of God, is a tragedy. The Bible says, “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure , whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” It is only through our thoughts that we can begin to change our lifestyle and become more like Jesus.
