Luis J Torres's Key Ideas from Mere Christianity
by C. S. Lewis

Lewis presents a famous trilemma: given what Jesus claimed about Himself, He must either be telling the truth (Lord), lying (Liar), or deluded (Lunatic). He argues that the only reasonable choice is to accept Him as Lord.

True Christian living is marked by virtues like humility, charity, chastity, and patience. Lewis emphasizes that virtue is not just about doing good things, but becoming a good person.

Lewis sees faith as trust in God, and emphasizes that genuine faith naturally leads to moral actions. One without the other is incomplete.

Of all sins, Lewis calls pride the most dangerous, as it sets people in direct opposition to God. True humility is key to Christian growth.

Christianity isn’t just about being “nice” but about transformation—becoming new creatures through the work of the Holy Spirit.

Lewis affirms the sanctity and permanence of marriage, arguing it’s not just a social contract but a spiritual union.

Lewis focuses on “mere Christianity”—the core beliefs shared by most Christian traditions—rather than denominational differences.

True Christianity means giving up the self-centered life and allowing God to remake us completely. It’s not just about rules, but relationship and transformation.

Thanks for read until the end.
