Quote

If Christianity is a mere invention of man, and the Bible is not from God, how can infidels explain Jesus Christ? His existence in history they cannot deny. How is it that without force or bribery, without arms or money, He has made such an immensely deep mark on the world as He certainly has?

J. C. Ryle

Let us never measure our religion by that of others, and think we are doing enough if we have gone beyond our neighbors.
