What it means to be Christian

Most assume that living the Christian life is a demanding chore that must be completed in order to receive unconditional love from God.

Many make this speculation and completely turn away from Christianity and all the rules that follow. Leading a Christian life is not a chore let alone an order. It’s a matter of faith and giving our hearts to the Lord, so He can multiply our happiness and success. You may feel overwhelmed by the concept of obeying every law and command. Analyzing and coming to a quick conclusion that Christianity won’t bring you justice or certification, only a whole new set of questions.

Personally for me being Christian means the abundant love that God stores in our hearts and the way he forgives us when we sin. We are destined to sin; after all we came from a sinful nature. Temptation lies in our hearts and darkens our souls, creating a whole that we cannot even patch up for ourselves. Lust creeps not far behind and a shrill of voices echo in our ears. Where can we find condolence? With whom can we confide in? Many answers that you seek lie here with God, if only you were to take the step in the right direction. Your burdens have been swept away and carried on the shoulders of our Savior. Don’t come looking for a “quick fix” and end up in same mess that you were a few weeks ago. Several “fake” Christians sit in church and intensively listen to the pastor. Once they leave church grounds desire sweeps over them and eventually they give in and experience the pleasures of the world. Then on Sunday morning they ask for forgiveness, but continue to sin. Reading the bible is just like reading any other book, there are stories ready to be unraveled within your heart. It may comfort you to become a better individual and lead you in the path of hope instead of destruction.

To be Christian is not something you can look up in a magazine or on the internet, it’s the tiny steps you take to find a balance of who you are and what you’re destined to become.
