Richard Baxter
Aim at the glory of God
"Aim at the glory of
God in another person's salvation. Don't do it for your own credit or
to attract followers; but do it in obedience to Christ and out of tender
love for other people's souls. Do it promptly too. That physician is no
better than a murderer, who negligently delays treating a patient until
he is dead or incurable. Let others perceive that it is your desire to
help them; that you have no other motive in mind but their everlasting
happiness. Say to them, "Friend, you know I have nothing to gain in this.
The easiest way to please you and keep your friendship would be to say
nothing and leave you alone; but love will not let me see you perish,
and remain silent. I only seek your own happiness. You are the one who
will gain if you come to Christ."
