The main reason
people lose or abandon their Christian faith
is to embrace
a particular sin.

Jesus told His disciples that He had flesh and bones (Luke 24:39).

He rebuked them for not believing the women who said He was alive (Mark 16:14).

He commanded them to believe in His resurrection (John 20:27).

He commissioned them to tell the entire world to believe what He commanded (Matthew 28:19-20).

The *physical* resurrection of Jesus is an essential doctrine of Christianity.

I hope no reader will suppose that "mere" Christianity is here put forward as an alternative to the creeds of the existing communions — as if a man could adopt it in preference to Congregationalism or Greek Orthodoxy or anything else.

It is more like a hall out of which doors open into several rooms. If I can bring anyone into that hall, I have done what I attempted. But it is in the rooms, not the hall, that there are fires and chairs and meals. The hall is a place to wait in, a place from which to try the various doors, not a place to live in. For that purpose the worst of the rooms (whichever that may be) is, I think preferable. . . .

When you have reached your own room, be kind to those who have chosen different doors and to those who are still in the hall. If they are wrong they need your prayers all the more; and if they are your enemies, then you are under orders to pray for them. This is one of the rules common to the whole house.

- C.S. Lewis, from "Mere Christianity"
