DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.B. Simpson emphasizes that a genuine and vibrant Christian life has
the power to attract others to Christ, contrasting it with the
lackluster examples of mediocre Christians that fail to inspire. He
recounts the story of a prominent citizen who, despite his admirable
qualities, lived without Christ until he witnessed a true expression of
faith that compelled him to seek a relationship with Jesus. This
transformation illustrates that the world is drawn to authentic
Christianity, which offers a compelling invitation to a life of complete
dedication to God.

A true and pure Christian life attracts the world. Men and women find no
inducement whatever in the lives of mediocre Christians to interest them
in practical religion, but they may be won at once by a true and
victorious example. Men of the world tend to step directly into a life
of entire consecration rather than into the intermediate state which is
usually presented to them by the witnessing Christian. There was a man,
a very prominent citizen, who for half a century or more had lived
without Christ. He was a man in public life, a man of irreproachable
character and manners, a man of lofty intellect.

Although he displayed a most winning spirit, he was utterly out of
sympathy with the Christian life.

At the close of a service for the promotion of deeper spiritual life, he
stood to ask the prayers of the congregation, and before the end of the
week he was himself a true and acknowledged follower of the Lord Jesus
Christ. He had said, as he went home following the service, "If that is
the religion of Jesus Christ, I want it."
