Greenhouse Goodness

"The Christian thinks any good he does comes from the Christ-life inside him. He does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because he loves us; just as the roof of a greenhouse does not attract the sun because it is bright, but becomes bright because the sun shines on it."

             -C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity, Book 2, chapter 5
