Quotes about Christ

Only through repentance and faith in Christ can anyone be saved. No religious activity will be sufficient, only true faith in Jesus Christ alone.

Disciples of Jesus do not mimic Jesus; we manifest him. We are personators of Christ, not impersonators. Christ's presence in our lives is more "thereness" than "likeness," more "withness" than "whatness." Jesus made our creation in the imago Dei more "spit" than "image" (as in "spit 'n' image").
