Oh, how many Christians there are who are just doing external stuff with lists, lists of doctrines and lists of do's and don'ts, thinking that's Christianity and will commend them to God.

Delighting in Jesus.

Valuing Jesus.

Hoping in Jesus.

Enjoying Jesus. Leaning in Jesus, enjoying Jesus, leaning on Jesus, knowing Jesus will.
