A heartless Christian must be a terrible grief to our Lord.

Oswald Chambers
About This Quote

The word Christian comes from the Greek word Christos, which means “anointed” or “messiah.” To be a true Christian is to be anointed with that special oil that was used in ancient times to anoint kings and prophets. That oil is Christ. Christian means one who has been anointed by God with the oil of Christ and through that anointing, we can know and do God’s will.
