Christianity as the Life of God

Christianity is not a system of ethics, of rules, of regulations; it is not a set of theories and moral precepts, preferable perhaps to any or all others, but similar. Christianity is a life, the life of God sent down from above to men. If it is not that, it is nothing. Its beautiful form is no more than ice-cold stone, with no power to help the one who embraces it; nay, more, it will absorb his warmth and life and leave him cold and dead. He who embraces Christianity gets life, the very life of God.
