“Christ our king and priest has made us kings and priests before God the Father. Therefore let us rule over our flesh, have dominion over sin and resist the devil as kings. Let us offer our bodies as a spiritual sacrifice to God as priests. We are called “Christians” from Christ. Therefore it is right that we conform ourselves to Christ our head. Let us consign ourselves into His protection. Let us allow ourselves to be ruled by Him. Let us commit to Him alone our salvation. He cries out to us, “I am the way.” Therefore let us imitate his example. “I am the truth.” Therefore let us have faith in His words. “I am the life.” Therefore let us commit our souls to Him in death” (Gerhard, On Christ, CPH, p. 330).
