Is Jesus Your Only Life?

Yes, He wants disciples to whom He is the only life, not just life and something else. 

There are whole multitudes of disciples who want Christ and something else, to whom Christ is not all-sufficient, the only life...

And the Lord is going to sift out this large body who carry the name of 'disciples'. 

He has always done it.

He did it in New Testament times. 

The mighty persecutions which came upon the early Church were His means of sifting out...

And through the ages He has done this thing by many means. 

He is doing it in the world today. 

Oh, what a tremendous sifting is going on amongst Christians! 

It is already beginning in the east and is going to develop in the west...

The western world is not going to escape this. 

The great multitudes who may call themselves by the name of Christ's disciples are going to be found out. 

Let us be quite clear and certain on this point. 

If Christ is not our only life we are going out...

For sooner or later we shall not be able to stand up to the test.
