Name: English Fruitcake
Ingredients: 5 1/2 c Sifted cake flour; 2 1/2 ts Baking powder; 1/4 ts Mace; 1 c Shortening; 1 7/8 c Brown sugar; 3 Eggs, well beaten; 1 ts Lemon extract; 3 1/4 c Raisins; 1/4 c Sliced candied orange peel; 1/4 c Sliced candied lemon peel; 1/4 c Sliced citron; 1/4 c Sliced candied cherries; 1 c Chopped walnut meats; 1 c Fruit juice

Apart from our union with Christ every effort to imitate Christ, no matter how noble and inspired at the outset, inevitably leads to legalism and spiritual defeat. But once you understand the doctrine of union with Christ, you see that God doesn’t ask us to attain to what we’re not. He only calls us to accomplish what already is. The pursuit of holiness is not a quixotic effort to do just what Jesus did. It’s the fight to live out the life that has already been made alive in Christ.
