There is a diligence required of the believer that results in a rich entrance into the eternal
kingdom of Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:10-11). A diligence in what? A diligence in the pursuit of
holiness. That is, we need to grow in grace through the means that the Lord has established for

Having read through The Glory of Christ by John Owen I have some questions. Has "look to Christ", or "behold Christ" become nothing more than a platitude?

Our common belief in Christ, shared in the context of good food and laughter made for a memorable time together.
