The early Christians
never regarded the Christian religion
as an “ethic”,
still less as a performance.
To them it was an invasion
of their own lives.
by the spirit of God;
their response
in forgiveness and faith
provided the means
by which the divine could penetrate
the merely human.
They lived lives of super-human quality
because they believed quite simply
that Christ Himself was alive
within them.

J.B.Phillips
