Character

Christians are Christlike: none deserve the name of Christians that are not so, in their prevailing character....The branch is of the same nature with the stock and root, has the same sap, and bears the same sort of fruit. The members have the same kind of life with the head. It would be strange if Christians should not be of the same temper and spirit that Christ is of; when they are his flesh and his bone, yea are one spirit (1 Cor. 6:17), and live so, that it is not they that live, but Christ that lives in them.

/Jonathan Edwards, Religious Affections
