"[To have Faith in Christ] means, of course,
trying to do all that He says.
There would be no sense in saying
you trusted a person
if you would not take his advice.
Thus if you have really
handed yourself over to Him,
it must follow that you are trying to obey Him.
But trying in a new way, a less worried way.
Not doing these things in order to be saved,
but because He has begun to save you already.
Not hoping to get to Heaven
as a reward for your actions,
but inevitably wanting to act in a certain way
because a first faint gleam
of Heaven is already inside you."
- C.S. Lewis
