"If we give the impression that the main effect of Christianity is to make us miserable, then it is not surprising that ninety percent of the people are outside the Christian church.
'Miserable Christians,' they say, 'look at them!' And they add that they have life, they have joy, they have fullness. Shame on us Christian people!
But it is not merely a question of saying shame on us.
What a terrible responsibility is ours if we are so misrepresenting this 'glorious gospel of the blessed God' (1 Timothy 1:11).
We are meant to be witnesses to all people that we are filled to overflowing.
We are meant to show the truth of the psalmist's words: 'My cup runneth over!'
(Psalm 23:5)."
-Martyn Lloyd-Jones
