About This Quote
This quote is attributed to Matthew Arnold, who wrote it in 1868. It expresses how Christians often seem to be atheists when they are in fact believers. When Christians live their lives by the Word of God, this is when the unbelieving world has a hard time believing that they truly belong to Christ. In order for a Christian to be believed, he or she must live by the Word of God and not by how he or she looks.
The world looks at a Christian and sees a religious follower. But when they see the same person live out the Word of God, they see a follower of Christ who believes in Him and not in his own abilities.
