Me: I am enjoying out time together. I am so happy that you found time for me!
Prodigal: It is good for us to stop from our busy days and just soak in the grace of Jesus.
This is from the book Soren Kierkegaard’s Christian Psychology: Insight for Counseling and Pastoral Care by C. Stephen Evans
As Kierkegaard saw it, Christianity is not primarily a matter of intellectually knowing or believing certain doctrines, nor is it primarily having certain momentary feelings or experiences. It is a way of living, or, as Kierkegarrd himself preferred to put it, a way of existing. It is certainly true that Christians believe some things which non-Christians do not, so the doctrines of faith are not unimportant. But the crucial thing to see is that Christians do not merely believe with their heads; they believe with their hearts. This means that the doctrines of Christianity are only truly believed when they are capable of moving the person to action, for it is our actions that the whole person is revealed. To believe that Jesus is Lord in the Christian way is not merely to assent to a proposition; it is to have your life transformed in a radical manner.
Action is what needs to take place at this time. How do people know how Christ transferred your heart? They need to see that now.
Galatians 1:4
Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father.
