Francis A. Schaeffer

This is what True Spirituality is primarily about, the importance of living by faith in the work of Christ on a daily basis.

On the one hand are people who think they are building God’s kingdom for him (and therefore end up building their own kingdoms). On the other hand are people who pray that God will build his kingdom and will be pleased to use them as he does.

We must not think that because we have accepted Christ as Savior and are therefore Christians, this is all there is in the Christian life.

The important thing after being born spiritually is to live.

This is the area of sanctification, from the time of the new birth through this present life, until Jesus comes or until we die.

The true Christian life, true spirituality, is not merely a negative not-doing of any small list of things

the Christian life, or true spirituality, is more than refraining from a certain list of external taboos in a mechanical way.

We do not come to true spirituality or the true Christian life merely by keeping a list, but neither do we come to it merely by rejecting the list and then shrugging our shoulders and living a looser life.

Love is internal, not external. There can be external manifestations, but love itself will always be an internal factor.

can take lists that men make and I can seem to keep them, but to do that, my heart does not have to be bowed
