'Christians have often disputed as to whether what leads the Christian home is good actions, or Faith in Christ. I have no right really to speak on such a difficult question, but it does seem to me like asking which blade in a pair of scissors is most necessary. A serious moral effort is the only thing will bring you to the point where you throw up the sponge. Faith in Christ is the only thing that can save you from despair at this point: and out of that Faith in Him good actions must inevitably come.'
CS Lewis, Mere Christianity, p.148.
