A.B. Simpson emphasizes that many Christians miss the true essence of the blessings found in Christ, often seeking salvation, grace, or answered prayers without truly knowing Him. He warns against being attached to doctrines, churches, or even friendships, which can lead to a lifeless faith. The true blessing comes from a personal relationship with Jesus, who is the source of all blessings and the one who sustains us when everything else fails. Simpson encourages believers to seek Christ Himself rather than merely the benefits He offers.
