The faith that inspired Jimmy Carter

Former US President Jimmy Carter, who has died at the age of 100, had a strong Christian faith which motivated him in all he did.

In his final book, Faith – A Journey for All (2018), Carter wrote: ‘I consider myself to be an evangelical Christian … the basic elements of Christianity apply personally to me, shape my attitude and my actions, and give me a joyful and positive life, with purpose.’

He also stated, in the same work: ‘People in my Bible class often ask what it means to be a Christian. My best explanation is that a Christian is a person professing Jesus Christ as personal saviour and striving to have the human qualities demonstrated by Jesus.’
