“A cold, legal religion can never lead souls to Christ; for it is a loveless, Christless religion.”-The Review and Herald, March 20, 1894. COR 82.1
“The saving salt is the pure first love, the love of Jesus, the gold tried in the fire. When this is left out of the religious experience, Jesus is not there; the light, the sunshine of His presence, is not there. What, then, is the religion worth?-Just as much as the salt that has lost its savor. It is a loveless religion. Then there is an effort to supply the lack by busy activity, a zeal that is Christless”-The Review and Herald, February 9, 1892. COR 82.2
