The true Christian is called to be a soldier, and must behave as such from the day of his conversion to the day of his death. He is not meant to live a life of religious ease, [laziness], and security. He must never imagine for a moment that he can sleep and doze along the way to heaven, like one traveling in an easy carriage... If the Bible is the rule of his faith and practice, he will find his course laid down very plainly in this matter. He must 'fight'.
J. C. Ryle, Holiness
