Being a Christian Means Being Like Christ

To be a Christian is not a mere play upon a word; but expresses the fact, that as love, purity, goodness, truth, mercy, and the like, are one and the same in all beings, so must the believer, who possesses them in kind, be one with Christ who possesses them in perfection. He must see his ideal in Christ; must see all that he loves realized in Christ; must see the deepest desires of his soul met or to be met in being made like Christ; and must recognize it as Heaven itself, to be with Christ, and like Christ forever.—McLeod.
