Quotes about Christianity

Before we received Christ, we were slaves to sin. But because of Christ's work on the cross, sin's power over us has been broken. Satan has no right of ownership or authority over us. He is a defeated foe, but he is committed to keeping us from realizing that. He knows he can block your effectiveness as a Christian if he can deceive you into believing that you are nothing but a product of your past, subject to sin, prone to failure, and controlled by your habits.

We learn many virtues in our Christian families. Above all, we learn to love, asking nothing in return.

[Jesus] said that they will know we are Christians - not by our bumper stickers and T-shirts - but by our love.
