My relationship with Jesus Christ has been life-changing, challenging, and good. Being a Christian is more than "religion", it is knowing Christ, and being his Ambassador on earth. As much as we are all physical beings, we are also spiritual beings. This is why most people in the world believe in some religion or "god". We all have a spiritual need within us. The major religions have similarities (Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, etc.), but when you really consider their…
