Reasons why I’m a Christian, and so should you…
Hi guys. I enjoy talking about religion and philosophy. And this will be an attempt to encourage non-Christians here to consider trying Christianity. I am very passionate about my religion and I believe that everyone, assuming they want a better life and afterlife, should submit their hearts to The One True God.
Here are my reasons…
-
Christianity has good and sensible teachings. The best example would be Christ’s second commandment, which says that you must love your neighbors as yourself. Personally, my favorite Biblical teaching is a part of Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount, which says that you shouldn’t worry about the future. Instead, you should worry about the problems NOW, because the future by itself will have its own problems, separate from today’s.

It has been established throughout Christian history that God is more than just a Creator and a Ruler. He is also a very present, very personal God who watches over all of us in His own way. By being acquainted with Him, we immediately get granted with access to infinite power. With faith, we can move mountains. Christianity is a relationship with God. And by having a relationship with Him, we gain tremendous advantage in all aspects of our lives.

Church attendance isn’t necessary. It’s good to attend a Church for fellowship purposes, but even if you don’t, you can still be a Christian by having faith.

A famed science and philosophy professor named Michael Polanyi once stated that religion is what gives life meaning, not science. By letting science give meaning to our lives, Polanyi said, it would destroy it instead of enhancing it. Christianity gives context to our lives and explains to us why we are here in the first place. In the book of Genesis, it states that we were all created in the image and likeness of God. This is a wonderful and healthier belief than believing that we came from apes. It gives us a justified kind of arrogance which in my opinion is very healthy.

Belief in the existence of God is scientifically sound. Look up the cosmological argument and the teleological argument.

17th century mathematician Blaise Pascal stated that, weighing the pros and cons, it is a much safer bet to believe in God than not to believe in Him.
Those are my reasons. Let’s discuss…
