Ye are Christs. 1 Corinthians 3, verse 23. Ye are Christ's. You are His by donation, for the Father gave you to the Son. His by His bloody purchase, for He counted down the price for your redemption. His by dedication, for you have consecrated yourself to Him. His by relation, for you are named by His name and made one of His brethren and joint heirs.

Are you exposed to difficulties and dangers? Stand fast in the evil day, remembering that you are Christ's. Are you placed where others are sitting down idly, doing nothing? Rise to the work with all your powers, and when the sweat stands upon your brow and you are tempted to loiter, cry, No, I cannot stop, for I am Christ's. If I were not purchased by blood, I might be like Issachar, crouching between two burdens, but I am Christ's and cannot loiter.

Never belie thy profession. Be thou ever one of those whose manners are Christian, whose speech is like the Nazarene, whose conduct and conversation are so redolent of heaven, that all who see you may know that you are the saviors recognizing in you his features of love and his countenance of holiness I am a Roman was of all the reason for integrity far more than let it be your argument for holiness I am Christ's
