Quote by Joseph Lancaster

When obedience to the Divine precepts keeps pace with knowledge, in the mind of any man, that man is a Christian and when the fruits of Christianity are produced, that man is a disciple of our blessed Lord, let his profession of religion be what it may.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that true Christianity is not merely a matter of religious affiliation or outward profession, but it is demonstrated through the combination of knowledge and obedience to divine teachings. It suggests that being a Christian entails consistently aligning one's actions and values with the principles of Christianity. The quote also implies that regardless of the specific religious label one may identify with, if they exhibit the fruits of Christianity (such as love, compassion, and selflessness), they can be considered a genuine follower of Jesus, as their actions speak louder than their religious affiliation.
