Jesus does not ask me to die for Him, but to lay down my life for Him. It is far easier to die than to lay down the life day in and day out with a sense of the high calling.
Salvation is easy because it cost God so much, but the manifestation of it in my life is difficult. God saves a man and endues him with the Holy Spirit, and then says in effect -- "Now work it out, be loyal to Me, whilst the nature of things round about you would make you disloyal."
"I have called you friends" -- Stand loyal to your Friend and remember that His honor is at stake in your bodily life.
- Oswald Chambers -
