C. S. Lewis quote: "The sin both of men and of angels, was rendered possible by..."
The sin both of men and of angels, was rendered possible by the fact that God gave us free will. C. S. Lewis
There must, whether the gods see it or not, be something great in the mortal soul. For suffering, it seems, is infinite, and our capacity without limit. C. S. Lewis
C. S. Lewis quote: "He (God) will have us even though we prefer everything else to..."
He (God) will have us even though we prefer everything else to Him because there is 'nothing better' now to be had. C. S. Lewis
That is why Christians are told not to judge. We see only the results which a man's choices make out of his raw material. But God does not judge him on the raw material at all, but on what he has done with it. C. S. Lewis
The real test of being in the presence of God is, that you either forget about yourself altogether or see yourself as a small, dirty object. C. S. Lewis
No philosophical theory which I have yet come across is a radical improvement on the words of Genesis, that 'In the beginning God made Heaven and Earth'. ... [I]f you compare it with the creation legends of other peoples--with all these delightful absurdities in which giants to be cut up and floods to be dried up are made to exist before creation--the depth and originality of this Hebrew folk tale will soon be apparent. C. S. Lewis
But the truth is God has not told us His arrangement about the other people are. We do know that no man can be saved except through Christ; we do not know that only those who know Him can be saved through Him. C. S. Lewis
The next moment is as much beyond our grasp, and as much in God’s care, as that a hundred years away. Care for the next minute is as foolish as care for a day in the next thousand years. In neither can we do anything, in both God is doing everything. C. S. Lewis
Now is our chance to choose the right side. God is holding back to give us that chance. It won't last forever. We must take it or leave it. C. S. Lewis
C. S. Lewis quote: "It has not pleased God that the distinction between a sin and..."
It has not pleased God that the distinction between a sin and a duty should turn on fine feelings. C. S. Lewis
This act [creation], as it is for God, must always remain totally inconceivable to man. For we--even our poets and musicians and inventors--never, in the ultimate sense make. We only build. We always have materials to build from. All we can know about the act of creation must be derived from what we can gather about the relation of the creatures to their Creator C. S. Lewis
As long as you are proud you cannot know God. A proud man is always looking down on thing and people: and, of course, as long as you are looking down you cannot see something that is above you. C. S. Lewis
Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable. C. S. Lewis
C. S. Lewis quote: "The hardness of God is kinder than the softness of men, and..."
The hardness of God is kinder than the softness of men, and His compulsion is our liberation. C. S. Lewis
C. S. Lewis quote: "We might think that God wanted simply obedience to a set of..."
We might think that God wanted simply obedience to a set of rules: whereas He really wants people of a particular sort. C. S. Lewis
