"The hope of Christianity is that we get to live life like Jesus. That beautiful goodness can be ours. He can heal what has gone wrong deep inside each of us. The way He does this is to give us His goodness...We get to live His life - that is, live each day by the power of His life within us. That's the hope: you get to live that life." - John Eldredge, The Utter Relief of Holiness
