Christianity
as a religion still exists in many people’s lives. No matter what technology or
society changes, people hold on to their personal beliefs, even if it is
adjusted to the modern way of thinking. Thanks to social media and being more
social in general, more people are beginning to turn to Christianity and bring
God into their life. If you’re interested, here are some ways to start
introducing Christianity into your life:
Your Past
First,
you should understand that where you come from and what your beliefs were don’t
matter. Christianity is a religion that is open to all people and all walks of
life. You may have been a Christian who lost your way. You may come from a past
of indecision, atheism or being an agnostic. As long as you are sure in your
decision to let Christianity in your life, none of that matters. Your social
and economic background, age, and marital status don’t matter either. The
openness of this religion is one of the things that brings many non-believers
to Christianity.
The Level of Belief
Another
misconception about Christianity is that you need to have a certain level of
belief or amount of emotion about God and your beliefs. But this isn’t true at
all. You can be curious about the religion, be a born-again Christian, or have
gone through a traumatic event that led to your reason for becoming a
Christian. Your level of belief in the Christian faith does not dictate being a
“good” Christian. As long as you are willing to let Christianity and God into
your life, the relationship you choose to have with Christ is entirely up to
you.
Learning About Christianity
Of course, a big part about finding a new religion and letting it wholly into your life is through education. You will go beyond reading the bible and attending church. It’s a religion that encourages a lifelong education in order to maintain a solid foundation. There is no right or wrong way to learn, and no reason you shouldn’t ask for help when something doesn’t make sense.
Christianity
is something that many people find speaks to their heart and soul. If you find
it calling to you, think about how you can make your life more open to it.
I find my walk with Christ to be more about a relationship than what some call a "religion".
ReplyDeleteI don't just know "about Jesus", I KNOW Him. I spend time with Him and am humbled that He loves us each so much and longs to spend time with us all.
I absolutely agree. If it isn't a relationship, we're missing the point. Thanks for stopping by!
