  • To have Faith in Christ means, of course, trying to do all that He says. There would be no sense in saying you trusted a person if you would not take his advice.

    Mean  
    C. S. Lewis (2012). “The Complete C. S. Lewis Signature Classics”, p.127, HarperCollins UK
  • There have been men before who got so interested in proving the existence of God that they came to care nothing for God himself, as if the good Lord had nothing to do but to exist. There have been some who were so preoccupied with spreading Christianity that they never gave a thought to Christ.

    "The Great Divorce". Book by C. S. Lewis, 1945.
  • I need Christ, not something that resembles Him.

    C.S. Lewis (2012). “A Grief Observed”, p.31, Faber & Faber
  • What we have been told is how we men can be drawn into Christ-can become part of that wonderful present which the young Prince of the universe wants to offer to His Father-that present which is Himself and therefore us in Him. It is the only thing we were made for. And there are strange, exciting hints in the Bible that when we are drawn in, a great many other things in Nature will begin to come right. The bad dream will be over: it will be morning.

    C.S. Lewis (1960). “Mere Christianity”
  • I was driven to Whipsnade one sunny morning. When we set out I did not believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, and when we reached the zoo I did. Yet I had not exactly spent the journey in thought. Nor in great emotion. “Emotional” is perhaps the last word we can apply to some of the most important events. It was more like when a man, after a long sleep, still lying motionless in bed, becomes aware that he is now awake.

    C. S. Lewis (1966). “Surprised by Joy: The Shape of My Early Life”, p.247, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
  • The terrible thing, the almost impossible thing, is the hand over your whole self--all your wishes and precautions--to Christ.

    C.S. Lewis (1996). “Joyful Christian”, p.180, Simon and Schuster
  • We know nothing of religion here: we only think of Christ.

  • Christ says, 'Give me all. I don't want so much of your time and so much of your money and so much of your work: I want you....Hand over the whole natural self, all the desires which you think innocent as well as the ones you think wicked- the whole outfit. I will give you a new self instead. In fact, I will give you myself: my own will shall become yours.

    C. S. Lewis (1998). “C. S. Lewis on Joy”, Thomas Nelson Incorporated
  • It was not for societies or states, that Christ died, but for men.

    Men  
  • The first thing to get clear about Christian morality between man and man is that in this department Christ did not come to teach any brand new morality. The Golden Rule of the New Testament (Do as you would be done by) is a summing up of what everyone, at bottom, had always known to be right.

  • When Christ died, He died for you individually just as much as if you had been the only person in the world.

  • The Christian idea of 'putting on Christ' is the whole of Christianity.

  • The terrible thing, the almost impossible thing, is to hand over your whole self--all your wishes and precautions--to Christ. But it is far easier than what we are all trying to do instead. For what we are trying to do is to remain what we call "ourselves," to keep personal happiness as our great aim in life, and yet at the same time be "good.

    C.S. Lewis (1996). “Joyful Christian”, p.180, Simon and Schuster
  • The central Christian belief is that Christ's death has somehow put us right with God and given us a fresh start.

    C. S. Lewis (2012). “The Complete C. S. Lewis Signature Classics”, p.57, HarperCollins UK
  • We are forbidden to neglect the assembling of ourselves together. Christianity is already institutional in the earliest of its documents. The Church is the Bride of Christ. We are members of one another.

    C. S. Lewis (1984). “The Business of Heaven: Daily Readings from C. S. Lewis”, p.206, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
  • It is Christ Himself, not the Bible, who is the true Word of God. The Bible, read in the right spirit and with the guidance of good teachers, will bring us to Him.

    "Letters of C. S. Lewis" by C. S. Lewis, (p. 247), 1966.
  • If you are worried about the people outside, the most unreasonable thing you can do is remain outside yourself. Christians are Christ's body...every addition to that body enables Him to do more. If you want to help those outside you must add your own little cell to the body of Christ who along can help them. Cutting off a man's fingers would be a odd way of getting him to do more work.

    Men  
  • The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men into Christ.

    Men  
  • Afflictions are... if we can so take them, our share in the Passion of Christ

    C.S. Lewis (1996). “Joyful Christian”, p.171, Simon and Schuster
  • Your real, new self (which is Christ's and also yours, and yours just because it is His) will not come as long as you are looking for it. It will come when you are looking for Him.

    Real  
    C. S. Lewis (2009). “Virtue and Vice: A Dictionary of the Good Life”, p.11, Harper Collins
  • Christ wants us to have a child's heart but a grown-up's head.

  • The longest way round is the shortest way home. (Quoting Alexander MacLaren, The Wearied Christ and Other Sermons)

    Way  
  • In a civilization like ours, I feel that everyone has to come to terms with the claims of Jesus Christ upon his life, or else be guilty of inattention or of evading the question.

  • Submit to death, death of your ambitions and favorite wishes every day and death of your whole body in the end: submit with every fiber of your being, and you will find eternal life. Keep back nothing. Nothing that you have not given away will be really yours. Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the dead. . . look to Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.

  • In the same way a Christian is not a man who never goes wrong, but a man is enabled to repent and pick himself up and begin over again after each stumble--because the Christ-life is inside him, repairing him all the time, enabling him to repeat (in some degree) the kind of voluntary death which Christ Himself carried out." - Mere Christianity

  • Faith in Christ is the only thing to save you from despair.

    C.S. Lewis (1996). “Joyful Christian”, p.135, Simon and Schuster
  • The central Christian belief is that Christ's death has somehow put us right with God and given us a fresh start. Theories as to how it did this are another matter. A good many different theories have been held as to how it works; what all Christians are agreed on is that it does work.

    C. S. Lewis (2012). “The Complete C. S. Lewis Signature Classics”, p.57, HarperCollins UK
  • The more we let God take us over, the more truly ourselves we become - because He made us. He invented us. He invented all the different people that you and I were intended to be. . .It is when I turn to Christ, when I give up myself to His personality, that I first begin to have a real personality of my own.

    Real  
  • Now the story of Christ is simply a true myth: a myth working on us the same way as the others, but with this tremendous difference that it really happened: and one must be content to accept it in the same way, remembering that it is God’s myth where the others are men’s myths: i.e., the Pagan stories are God expressing Himself through the minds of poets, using such images as He found there, while Christianity is God expressing Himself through what we call 'real things'.

    Real   Men  
    C. S. Lewis (2009). “Yours, Jack: The Inspirational Letters of C. S. Lewis”, p.28, HarperCollins UK
  • A Christian is not someone who never goes wrong, but one who is enabled to repent and pick himself up and begin again, because the Christ-life is inside him.
