Until the will and the affections are brought under the authority of Christ, we have not begun to understand, let alone to accept, His lordship.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that understanding and accepting the authority of Christ requires aligning our will and affections with Him. It suggests that merely knowing about Christ's lordship is insufficient; true acceptance and understanding come from surrendering our desires and emotions to His authority. In other words, personal transformation is needed for a profound comprehension of Christ's lordship to take place.
