We are not saved by serving Him, but we are saved to serve Him. From the moment we are saved, we ought to live in the service of our Lord.

Whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your slave. – Matthew 20:27
You cannot have Christ if you will not serve Him. If you take Christ, you must take Him in all His qualities. You must not simply take Him as a Friend, but you must also take Him as your Master. If you are to become His disciple, you must also become His servant. God-forbid that anyone fights against that truth. It is certainly one of our greatest delights on earth to serve our Lord, and this is to be our joyful vocation even in heaven itself: His servants shall serve Him: and they shall see His face (Revelation 22:3-4).
Charles H. Spurgeon originally wrote this book for members of the Young People’s Society of Christian Endeavor. Spurgeon’s heartfelt writing style makes this book one that today still encourages believers to move into Christian action. He emphasizes simply moving forward, using the talents and resources you already have at your disposal, for the Lord’s service and your own eternal reward. The concepts presented are easy to understand and straight-forward, if only you are ready to lay down your life to follow Christ.

2 reviews for Following Christ
Nineteen chapters wherein Charles Spurgeon implores young men to consecrate their lives for Jesus and do all for God’s will and pleasure are contained in this book. A brief biography of Charles H. Surgeon is also included.
The following quote towards the end of this book spoke to me as a disabled female Christian: “Perhaps in the end we will find out that the people whom we might have excused on account of illness or weakness or poverty are the people who have done the most.”
Highly recommended but be prepared to be strongly convicted. This is a work that will provoke the reader to get off the fence and get into the battle for souls.
