Christianity And The Purpose Of Christian Life

Improved Essays
Christianity What’s the meaning and the purpose of life, the Christian life. According to the bible it is to glorify God and the enjoyment of him forever. It’s our belief in Jesus based on the life and teaching of Jesus, relating to the qualities and spirit of Jesus especially in showing concerns of others. In the ideal world Christianity is taught as children, through songs and stories of the bible. The very first song I learned as a child was “Jesus loves”. Growing up all I ever heard from my grandfather was Jesus loves me, and I’m to love all as He does unconditionally. It is a great feeling knowing someone is as grand as God. He loves us no matter of our flaws or sins. Love is an intense and powerful word, it isn’t love for our family …show more content…
My mission is to be that person they can look to for help and encouragement, not only mentally but also biblically. My mission is to be a successful Christian Advocate to all that’s in need. I promised myself and God that I will live my life ethically, I will not do anything that will interfere with His will for me and my life. Our young people needs to know that sometimes in life it only take that one person to be a positive influence in their life. Several years ago I encouraged a young man that was in the world to change his ways and his way of living if not for himself, do it for his children, it took sometime for it to happen but bless be to God it did, he actually gave up the streets and the fast life and got a real job and then learned to have respect for not only for himself, but for others as well. He has not only gave up his old ways, now he’s married with four children, still working at the same company of 12 years and they all are doing great, every time I see him, he always tell me thank you and that he love me for being there for him when he needed that …show more content…
Just knowing that I reached out and to that young man, made me realize that I can do this, I can help encourage these young people more and help them to understand that the world isn’t what it seems, everything that comes easy isn’t worth the outcome, taking the time to give God some of your time and reading His word is worth more than anything in life. The feeling you get knowing one man with great powers can overcome any obstacle you have with just one word is breath taken. I’m not out to make anyone think that it’s easy once you turn your life to God and submit to Him, things are going to bother you, people are going to try you and everytime you turn around it’s going to be obstacle, but as long as you trust and believe in Him all will be okay, putting God first makes things and life easier and worth living. Matthew 5:6 says, Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they will be
