More From William Penn

For us christians, love of neighbour springs from love of god; and it is its most limpid expression. here one tries to love one's neighbour, but also to allow oneself to be loved by one's neighbour. these two attitudes go together, one cannot be exercised without the other. printed on the letterhead of the missionaries of charity are these words of jesus: "as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me". loving god in our brethren and loving our brethren in god.
Love Christian Jesus
If a pot can multiply. one day nasrudin lent his cooking pots to a neighbour, who was giving a feast. the neighbour returned them, together with one extra one – a very tiny pot. 'what is this?' asked nasrudin. 'according to law, i have given you the offspring of your property which was born when the pots were in my care,' said the joker. shortly afterwards nasrudin borrowed his neighbour's pots, but did not return them. the man came round to get them back. 'alas!' said nasrudin, 'they are dead. we have established, have we not, that pots are mortal?'.

Not my idea of god, but god. not my idea of h., but h. yes, and also not my idea of my neighbour, but my neighbour. for don't we often make this mistake as regards people who are still alive -- who are with us in the same room? talking and acting not to the man himself but to the picture -- almost the précis -- we've made of him in our own minds? and he has to depart from it pretty widely before we even notice the fact.

What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.

By the experience of active love. strive to love your neighbour actively and indefatigably. in as far as you advance in love you will grow surer of the reality of god and of the immortality of your soul. if you attain to perfect self-forgetfulness in the love of your neighbour, then you will believe without doubt, and no doubt can possibly enter your soul. this has been tried. this is certain.
Believe Love You Reality
A christian society is not going to arrive until most of us really want it: and we are not going to want it until we become fully christian. i may repeat "do as you would be done by" till i am black in the fact, but i cannot really carry it out till i love my neighbour as myself: and i cannot learn to love my neighbour as myself till i learn to love god.

There were honest people long before there were christians and there are, god be praised, still honest people where there are no christians. it could therefore easily be possible that people are christians because true christianity corresponds to what they would have been even if christianity did not exist.
