C.S. Lewis Warns Us About 3 Misconceptions

Subscribe to Sea Harp

From C.S. Lewis' "Mere Christianity".

In this essay, C.S. Lewis elaborates on the concept of morality by dividing it into three parts and further discussing the seven virtues, both Cardinal and Theological. He begins by explaining the four Cardinal virtues: Prudence, Temperance, Justice, and Fortitude. Prudence involves practical wisdom and thoughtful decision-making. Temperance means moderation in all pleasures, not just abstaining from alcohol. Justice encompasses fairness and honesty, while Fortitude includes both physical and moral courage.

Lewis emphasizes that virtues are not just about performing good actions but about developing a good character. He warns against three misconceptions: that the motivation behind good actions doesn't matter, that God only wants obedience to rules, and that virtues are only relevant to this life. Instead, virtues are about becoming a certain kind of person who will be fit for eternal happiness with God.
