We trace a straight line from C.S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity to a practical call: choose holiness over niceness. Jesus’ claims demand obedience, fruit matters more than feelings, and love sometimes speaks hard truth to rescue people from sin.

• Lewis’s trilemma and the lordship claim
• Fruit as the public test of faith
• Why “nice guy” religion fails people
• Holiness as the believer’s true aim
• Obedience to Jesus over social approval
• Speaking truth with courage and care
• Hope in ongoing sanctification and final perfection
