Your Life And The Christian Message

By Rusty Calmins


Christianity. It is the religion that follows not just God, but also Jesus Christ and his teachings. Most people would commonly associate it with Catholicism and other religions revolving around God, but it's not always the case. In many ways, Christianity is different. That's why you have to know how to understand Christianity so you won't be confused or baffled on what it is in the world of religion. As mentioned previously, Christianity is a religion in which it doesn't just believe in God, but also in Jesus Christ along with his writings and teachings. It is almost like Catholicism, but its main focus is Jesus Christ.

A true Christian follows and applies the principles of the Bible. The Bible has the laws of God written for man. A true Christian diligently applies the principles of God in his life. He doesn't just read the principles; he applies them where it is appropriate. To be a true Christian means you show what you have learned.

Christians hold a strong belief about Jesus being the Son of God and being the Messiah. Because of his duties as a Messiah, they acknowledge that by having a strong faith in Jesus, they know even the most sinful will be welcomed for salvation in Heaven. This is quite different from other religious branches because they mostly focus on God but not on Jesus. Christians also see the events of Jesus' life as essential monuments because it shows where their faith is going. When Jesus was born and became fully human, they saw that Jesus was like them. He was like any other human in the world who would be willing to suffer without any regret. He was born as a man and would rise as a God. That's why he is known to "God in Flesh of a man".

Other religions have their own false prophets too like in Islam. A prophet is a false prophet if he comes after Muhammad because it has already been established Muhammad is the true and final prophet. In Judaism, someone is considered a false prophet if he makes too-good-to-be-true prophecies and turn you away from your faith with God and therefore must be punished to death for such rebellion.

The true Christian incorporates a Christian view in life. Whatever he does in life; be it a farmer, a salesman or a computer guy, he always puts everything in the perspective of a true Christian. These are the signs and marks of a true Christian. It may be hard to do for others, but with a diligence, perseverance and faith, even the most basic Christian can become a true Christian in no time.
