"The difficulty we modern Christians face is not misunderstanding the
Bible, but persuading our untamed hearts to accept its plain
instructions. Our problem is to get the consent of our world-loving
minds to make Jesus Lord in fact as well as in word. For it is one thing
to say, 'Lord, Lord,' and quite another thing to obey the Lord’s
commandments. We may sing, 'Crown Him Lord of all,' and rejoice in the
tones of the loud-sounding organ and the deep melody of harmonious
voices, but still we have done nothing until we have left the world and
set our faces toward the city of God in hard practical reality. When
faith becomes obedience then it is true faith indeed."

"Why do you call Me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?...Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven...If you love Me, you will keep My commandments...Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him."
- Jesus Christ (Luke 6:46; Matthew 7:21; John 14:15,21)
