Topic > The Life of a Christian - 1213

In life we ​​want to be the best, have the best of everything and be surrounded only by the best people who can help us achieve our desired goals. But as a Christian it takes more than just wanting the best, you have to commit and follow the path God has set out. But unfortunately when you are a Christian, some things get in your way, your faith can be tested, and your decision making can become clouded. But you will probably ask yourself why? You have love for your Christian brothers and have helped those who were less fortunate than you. So why are you the one who seems to keep fighting? When you are a Christian these things will not always last, just look to the Father and He will direct your path. Yes, you helped others, but did you do all you could, did you give from your heart or just from your wallet? It doesn't matter how much you give, but when it doesn't come from the heart it will only displease the Lord. You see, a common standard among many Christians is the belief that the books of the Bible were inspired by God, and therefore the Bible is the most important book. or sole source of knowledge of right and wrong. Ethics themselves are those derived from interpretations of the behaviors of individuals in biblical stories, and not from the Bible which specifically states what is ethical. There is no mention of ethics, ethics, ethics, morals, morals, or morality in the Bible (or at least none known in the King James) (Gowdy, 2009-2010). In Christianity the behaviors and teachings of individuals in the Bible stories are subjectively interpreted as good or bad - or the stories are said to be holy or evil in the eyes of God, which then leads the reader to conclude which specific acts are deemed righteous or wrong - and... in the middle of paper ...... to their claims of justice (Nash, 1999, p. 360). In conclusion, it shouldn't matter whether you are judged alone or in a group. We are all equal in the eyes of God and we should not worry about what others say about us, because ultimately God will be the only one we have to impress and he already knows where you stand in the eyes of equality and justice.
