Christianity
is the study of the divine beginning in a person.
Christianity is a very simple thing: love
other persons, as you love God. Be as perfect as your father in heaven. Live in
the spirit of God, making the best things, in the best possible way, for the
best purposes. Even a small child can understand these ideas, and even a great
mind cannot improve upon them.
— Theodore Parker
Without
the clear understanding of the meaning of one's life, without faith, a person
can at any minute deny good and start worshipping evil.
A
person cannot have complete understanding of the meaning of life. A person can
only know its direction.
The
essence of all religious teachings is love. What is special in Christianity is
teachings about love, the clear and exact statement of the major condition of
love: nonresistance to evil and violence.
If
you want to be quiet and strong, work and improve your faith.
