Schaeffer: life in a supernatural universe

[naturalistic thinking creeps in easily...]

As soon as this happens, Christians begin to lose the reality of their Christian lives...

...we have said that we are to love God enough to say "Thank you," even for the difficult things.  We must immediately understand, as we say this, that this has no meaning  whatsoever unless we live in a personal universe in which there is a personal God who objectively exists.  

[but when we consciously live within the Biblical understanding of supernatural reality:]

...the teaching that Christ is the bridegroom will bring forth fruit through me, ceases to be strange.  The Bible insists that we live in reality in a supernatural universe...

The true Bible believing Christian is the one who lives in practice in this supernatural world.

TS, pp.54&56
