“Read the following passages of God’s word, and see if religion be a light and easy work. “Seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness.” “Strive to enter in at the strait gate; for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.” “Labor for that food which endures unto eternal life.” “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life.” “Whoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.”
