Our Christian Beliefs

A quote by D.A. Carson from his book How Long, O Lord. This is an excellent book on the struggle to understand suffering and evil in the world. This quote, in particular, reflects how our Christian beliefs should transform us. I find much encouragement and challenge from these words.

"It is to say that, in addition to holding that Christian beliefs are true and consistent, the Christian, to find comfort in them, must learn how to use them. Christian beliefs are not to be stacked in the warehouse of the mind; they are to be handled and applied to the challenges of life and discipleship. Otherwise they are incapable of bringing comfort and stability, godliness and courage, humility and joy, holiness and faith."
