What is important about Christianity? How do people use it in everyday life? Those are just two of the many questions I will address in this paper. I am going to talk about God, humanity, Jesus, restoration, I am going to analyze Christianity and finally I will reflect on what I believe. I will also be using the bible to back up my points with the word of God.
God:
God is like no other. He is the reason the sun comes up in the morning he is the reason it sets at night. Without God, nothing would survive. Some people wonder how the universe does everything that it does and I always want to tell them the same way you are here it is all God. God is great. God created everything that moves, breathes, walks and grows. He made the whole world. “Twenty-five …show more content…
It was said in our lecture this week that “Then the final act in the biblical story, restoration, will commence after the judgment (Matt. 25:31-46) with the new heaven and new earth (Rev 21).” (Lecture 5) The solution for the human problems (sin) in the world is judgement. Judgement is something only god can do. Like when someone feels judged by someone else they say to them “only God can judge me” it might sound like they are trying to get them to stop but it is true. God is the judger of everyone, he decides if we go to heaven or hell when we die or when he comes back for us which ever day comes first. Ephesians 2:8-9 “God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.” (Bible n.d.) For me I believe that the transformation from self to society happens when someone goes from a child to a teen. They go from being under their parents wing to having to figure out their own faith. I went through it. I figured out what the real world was like and figured out society wasn’t all it was cracked up to …show more content…
There are times when you just feel like you lose your faith. I can honestly say I have felt that way before. I have 2 verses that I use quite a bit one is Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” (Bible n.d.) and Philippians 4:13 “For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.” (Bible n.d.). When I really feel that I am falling I remember these verses and they help me. I had been in a really tough spot lately where I was depressed and I had started to fall but this class has helped me start to renew my faith and my trust in God. Without God I would not have the strength to do half of the things I know I can do with God. When I don’t think I can go through the struggle anymore I know that God will not give me more than I can handle with him on my side. So, like I said it is not always easy but I know that God and my family whether it is my actual family or my church family they are all there to help life me up and share a kind word to help me make it through
