<transcy>Fix Your Eyes on Jesus (Les yeux fixés sur Jésus)</transcy>
The more the believer fixes his gaze on his Lord, the more he will be precious to him, and the more the life of this disciple will be centered on Christ. This is the secret that lies at the heart of a life that honors God.
Today, it is more common for those who claim to be named Christ to seek out some miracle recipe or trick that will bear immediate fruit and, if possible, painlessly or effortlessly, with a healthy dose of pleasure. This path only leads to disillusion and failure.
Therefore, Frank Allred urges his reader to make every effort to become ever more aware of the glory of Christ, and of the privileges which in him belong to the believer. It is necessary to grasp the wonderful destiny that awaits the Christian beyond this life. The eternal bliss that flows from the very presence of God in a new world where there is no more sin and no death.
If the believer wants to grow in his intimate knowledge of Christ (which is certainly the desire of every genuine Christian), he must immerse himself in the Bible because it is in it that all the necessary motivations are found for keep your eyes on Jesus. And the joy of such a path is such that whoever experiences it overflows with love for their Savior.
