“C.S. Lewis comments on the nature of the early Puritans and Reformers in the 16th century—their chief characteristics being their exuberance, their liberation from motive-scratching, their joy, their relief, their delight in new life, their acceptance of something that was too good to be true.

But one of the blessed things we do is believe, and it is living creatures, alive for the first time, who do this believing. Faith is not an inert substance, but rather an action performed by persons who are now alive.”
