I finished Mere Christianity the other night. The take away I got this time (I've read it a few times) is the concept of the new man. Lewis spoke of how, despite being Christians, some folks aren't so pleasant. There are many good people who are not Christians. Some folks are just naturally nicer and more charitable than others. He then goes into how we all have different nature's and personalities and how Christ meets us where we are at. It doesn't mean we are changed into the picture perfect Christian. Back to the not so pleasant folk, Lewis asks how they might be without Christ. He also says that the naturally nicer people would think they have less of a need for Christ but we are all sinners and are accountable for all the gifts we are given.
