Religion as the Believer’s Element

By Rev. John Newton

THE religion of some people is constrained; they are like people who use the cold bath, not for pleasure, but necessity and their health; they go on with reluctance, and are glad when they get out; but religion to a true believer is like water to a fish; it is his element; he lives in it, and he could not live out of it.—Rev. John Newton.
