• Seguir a Cristo no es algo que se pueda hacer a medias o de lado. No es una etiqueta que podamos exhibir cuando nos sea útil. Debe ser el centro de todo lo que hacemos y somos.

• Nuestra tarea como cristianos a imagen y semejanza de Dios, conformados por Cristo y llenos del Espíritu, siguiendo a Cristo y conformando nuestro mundo, es anunciar la redención a un mundo que ha descubierto su caída, anunciar la curación a un mundo que ha descubierto su quebrantamiento, proclamar el amor y la confianza a un mundo que sólo conoce la explotación, el miedo y la sospecha.

• La gracia barata es la idea de que la "gracia" lo hizo todo por mí, así que no necesito cambiar mi estilo de vida. El creyente que acepta la idea de la "gracia barata" piensa que puede seguir viviendo como el resto del mundo. En lugar de seguir a Cristo de una manera radical, el cristiano perdido en la gracia barata piensa que puede simplemente disfrutar de los consuelos de su gracia.

• The only man who has the right to say that he is justified by grace alone is the man who has left all to follow Christ. Such a man knows that the call to discipleship is a gift of grace, and that the call is inseparable from the grace. But those who try to use this grace as a dispensation from following Christ are simply deceiving themselves.

• After he has been following Christ for a long time, the disciple of Jesus will be asked, "Lacked ye anything?" and he will answer "Nothing, Lord." How could he when he knows that despite hunger and nakedness, persecution and danger, the Lord is always at his side?

• Christ had no interest in gathering vast crowds of professed adherents who would melt away as soon as they found out what following Him actually demanded of them. In our own presentation of Christ's gospel, therefore, we need to lay a similar stress on the cost of following Christ and make sinners face it soberly before we urge them to respond to the message of free forgiveness. In common honesty, we must not conceal the fact that free forgiveness in one sense will cost everything.

• Contemporary American churches in particular do not require following Christ in his example, spirit, and teachings as a condition of membership-either of entering into or continuing in fellowship of a denomination or a local church.... Most problems in contemporary churches can be explained by the fact that members have not yet decided to follow Christ.

• The restoration of the church must surely depend on a new kind of monasticism, which has nothing in common with the old but a life of uncompromising discipleship, following Christ according to the sermon on the mount.  I believe the time has come to gather people together to do this.

• Mi fe en Cristo es fundamental en mi vida. Mi conversión de un ateo pesimista perdido en un mundo que no comprendía, a un creyente optimista en un universo creado y sostenido por un Dios amoroso es crucial para mí. Pero seguir a Cristo no significa seguir a sus seguidores. Cristo es infinitamente más importante que el cristianismo y siempre lo será, independientemente de lo que el cristianismo sea, haya sido o pueda llegar a ser.

• Marriage is a call to die [to self]... Christian marriage vows are the inception of a lifelong practice of death, of giving over not only all you have, but all you are. Is this a grim gallows call? Not at all! It is no more grim than dying to self and following Christ. In fact, those who lovingly die for their [spouses] are those who know the most joy, have the most fulfilling marriages, and experience the most love.

• Thus, for followers of Christ, calling neutralizes the fundamental position of choice in modern life. “I have chosen you,” Jesus said, “you have not chosen me.” We are not our own; we have been bought with a price. We have no rights, only responsibilities. Following Christ is not our initiative, merely our response, in obedience. Nothing works better to debunk the pretensions of choice than a conviction of calling. Once we have been called, we literally “have no choice.

• Discipulado significa adhesión a Cristo y, porque Cristo es el objeto de esa adhesión, debe tomar la forma de discipulado. Una teología abstracta, un sistema doctrinal, un conocimiento religioso general del tema de la gracia o del perdón de los pecados, hacen que el discipulado sea superfluo, y de hecho excluyen cualquier idea de discipulado, y son esencialmente contrarios a toda la concepción de seguir a Cristo: ..... El cristianismo sin Cristo vivo es inevitablemente un cristianismo sin discipulado, y el cristianismo sin discipulado es siempre un cristianismo sin Cristo.
