This searching and penetrating work unfolds the true nature of the Christian life—not as outward religion, imitation, or mere belief, but as the living presence of Christ within the soul. G. Campbell Morgan carefully traces the meaning of the word Christian back to its New Testament roots, showing that a Christian is one whose life is so governed by Christ that even the world cannot help but recognize it.
With clarity and spiritual depth, Morgan reveals that the secret of all Christian character is not effort, but indwelling. Christ Himself becomes the source of life, shaping the believer’s desires, directing their conduct, and expressing His own nature through them. From this central truth flow the marks of the Christian: devotion to Christ, a passion to bring others to Him, separation from the spirit of the age, and a willingness to bear reproach for His name.
Rich with Scripture, devotional insight, and practical application, this book calls readers beyond surface-level Christianity into a life rooted in communion with Christ. It is a summons not to try harder, but to yield more fully—so that Christ Himself may live, love, and labor through the believer, until His life becomes unmistakably visible in every part of their own.
