'Christianity isn't true because of the lives of Christians...But it is equally true that non-Christians will either see Christ in us or they will not see him. Their vision could be blurred by our misrepresentation, their view of Christ obstructed by our lack of charity and love (Matt.25:31-46). Or if we are reflecting him in our lives - very aspect of our lives - then they will see Christ and the radiance of his glory in us.'
Stephen J Nichols, Heaven on Earth, p.74.
