"For Christianity is a doctrine not of the tongue
but of life.
It is not apprehended by the understanding and memory
alone, as other disciplines are, but it is received only when it possesses the whole soul, and finds a seat and resting place
in the inmost affection of the heart.
Accordingly, either let them cease to boast of what
they are not, in contempt of God; or let them show themselves disciples not unworthy of Christ their teacher.
We have given the first place to the doctrine in which
our religion is contained, since our salvation begins with it.
But it must enter our heart and
pass into our daily living, and so transform us into itself that it may not be unfruitful for us."
- John Calvin
