Fragment: The One Object

 
The one object of the Christian life is to learn more of Himself. Satan cannot find entrance into a heart that is full of Christ. A heart possessed of Christ is fortified against the most seductive allurements the world may offer.
We ought not to rejoice so much in deliverances when they come, but in the One who delivers.
Intellectual conviction is always powerless, for it occupies itself with the truth and never leads to Christ Himself.
E. Dennett (adapted)
