CS Lewis quote

"...I did not then see what is now the most shining and obvious thing; the Divine humility which will accept a convert even on such terms. The Prodigal Son at least walked home on his own feet. But who can duly adore that Love which will open the high gates to a prodigal who is brought in kicking, struggling, resentful, and darting his eyes in every direction for a chance of escape?"


As a former non-regenerate nobody, chief of sinners, I give thanks to my saviour, Jesus the Christ. He re-lifed me and lifted me from the pit (seriously).

Was it Stanley that said the term "born again Christian" is redundant? Reference John 3, Brothers and Sisters. Salvation is being regenerated by God. Otherwise, one will not see Him.

I'm glad God wasn't counting on me to save myself, you know?
