Each One Of Us Is To Live Just As JESUS Would

True religion is intensely practical

(J.R. Miller)

A little girl, when asked what it was
to be a Christian, replied, "For me to be
a Christian is to live and behave just
as JESUS would live and behave--
if HE were a little girl and lived
at our house."

No better definition of practical 
religion could be given. Each one
of us is to live just as JESUS
would, if HE were living out our
little life in the midst of its actual
environment, mingling with the same
people with whom we must mingle,
and exposed to the very annoyances,
trials, and temptations to which we
are exposed. We need to live a life
that will please GOD, and which will
witness to the genuineness of our piety.

True religion is intensely practical.
Only so far as it dominates one's life, is
it real. We must get the commandments
down from the Sinaitic glory amid which
they were first engraved on stone
by the finger of GOD--
and give them a place in the hard,
dusty paths of our earthly toil
and struggle. We must get
them off the tables of stone--
and have them written on
the walls of our own hearts.

We must bring the Golden Rule
down from its bright setting in our
LORD'S 'Sermon on the Mount'--
and get it wrought into our
daily actual life!
