Transformed

Christianity is not an ethical code. It is a love affair, a Spirit-filled way of living aimed at making us professional lovers of God and people.

Christian action follows Christian being. We must live out in our lives what we are. Christian existence means that we have been transformed. Through the Spirit we live in Christ Jesus. Life is doing what comes supernaturally. Noblesse oblige. Nobility obliges. The child of a king must not live like a peasant.

The Relentless Tenderness of Jesus, Brennan Manning
