Personal Piety

From: Young Christian: Volume 34, 1944

“The root and essence of personal piety is the soul’s own desire after God,” another has said.

Yes, our personal piety is not to be measured by knowledge of even divine things, or by certain attainments, but by our own soul’s desire after God. The Apostle Paul expressed the desire of his soul when he said:

“That I may know Him.” (Phil. 3:10¹⁰That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; (Philippians 3:10)).
