Being Got Hold of

"Once Christ has got hold of you, he said "you have to look at everything. Including unbelief, from an entirely new angle—from the Christian point of view.

"Primarily, Christianity is not a system of beliefs, a world view, or a code of morals. It Involves these, but primarily it is an experienced personal relationship between Man and God.

"The mistake of agnostics in requiring proof of God's existence lies in the fact that God is not an object, but a personality. We can observe and study objects externally, but before we know anything about a personality. It must be revealed to us. People are partly objects and partly personality, but God is outside the world of objects. We cannot prove His personality—it must be revealed, in Christianity we have that revelation of God without which it is impossible to know Him. We must give ourselves to God as He gives Himself to us. Once this fellowship is established. Christian convictions begin.

"We cannot blame agnostics for not accepting the tenets of the Christian faith, because they have not experienced this fellowship. In this case, scepticism is the only honest attitude.
