"No Cross, No Crown: A Discourse Shewing the Nature and Discipline of the Holy Cross of Christ" by William Penn is a religious exploration that shines a light on the Christian idea of giving up one's own desires and highlights the need to carry one's burdens as a real follower of God. The author reflects on the weight of changing from the inside and obeying spiritually. Contrasting true belief with fake Christianity, this section of the discourse reveals a worry for the bad spiritual state of Christians who ignore core beliefs. The author urges readers to look closely at their lives and consider the effects of living in sin and not fully committing to Christ, emphasizing that only by accepting suffering and self-denial, symbolized by the cross, can they find true salvation and God's promised eternal reward.
