Christ is virtue personified. He called Himself the door through which we must enter. Moreover, He reprimanded those who admire Him and even believe Him, but who fail to imitate Him. To be merely Christian in name is often the only virtue of the worldly. "He built God a church, but laughed His word to scorn," says Cowper. How sad and contradictory! There are many such-they may not build a church, but they satisfy themselves with giving Christ their name, and that is all. The proverb says: "The sign brings customers," but their sign frightens them away.
