being a christian

Being a Christian I became a Christian last year, it really changes my life and the way I sees things. I became more positive and contentment about everything. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only be gotten Son, that whoever believed in Him should not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)”. Eternal life! Who does not want eternal life? All you have to do is believe in Jesus Christ. Being a Christian brings several good effects in life. Firstly, becoming a Christian not only offers eternal life after Earth, but it also offers a supportive group while humans are living on Earth. It can gain multiple support groups. A support group through God, and gain one through Christian friends. I talk and hang out with my Christian friends often. People from church are usually friendly and welling to help. My morals improved, and it can help lead to a better life. Subsequently, studying Bible also affect an individuals and families in an excellent way. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine for reprove, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. (2 Timothy 3:16)”. As the scripture says, being a Christian who studies Bible can avoid form sin, learn how to love one another, gain wisdom, light to our future path, salvation, grow stronger faith and brings more joy. Lastly, according to the information from Pew Research, a comprehensive demographic study of more than 200 countries finds that there are 2.18 billion Christians of all age population around the world. Christians are also geographically widespread. In a Christian home, one plus one equals three. God is the unseen partner in the union, and His power to love, forgive and heal is abundantly available to the couple who prays the best defense against spiritual practice; Prayer impacts our spiritual practice at three levels; Action, thought and attitude. It can receive forgiveness for mistakes and reduce the ego increase in faith. In

    We, as Christians, should study secular literature because it challenges our minds and builds our faith. God constructed our minds so that we can determine what we intake as well as what we put out. We choose how we use the information, where our thoughts go, and how to seek wholeness in our education. Our education trains us on how to successfully face life, and how to apply what we learn to our "life's real, practical issues". In seeking a holistic education we are also seeking God's wholeness in our lives. As we learn we are provided many examples of education throughout history, the greatest is in the teachings of Jesus Christ.…

    Christianity is an ancient religion that is centered on the teachings of Christ. The history of Christianity concerns the Christian religion, its followers and the Church with its various denominations, from the first century to the present. Christianity was founded in the 1st century in the Levant region of the Middle East by Jesus of Nazareth, who is prophesied in the Old Testament to be the Christ or chosen one of God. This religion has been around since 4BC-30AD (the time of Christ). The early Christians believed that there were seven heavens, one physically above the other.

    John 3:16” For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. That whoever should believe in him shall not parish, but have everlasting life.” That verse is more true to me today than it was 15 years ago. When I was five years old I became a Christian. One day I was riding my bike and I felt a tug at my heart to let Jesus into my life. After feeling that tug in my heart I went inside and told my Mom that I wanted to become a Christian. She prayed with me and I have been a Christian ever since.…

    Christianity has always been apart of my life. My grandparents, parents and siblings are strong christians and always encouraged me to become one. When I was about four I was at a Christian camp that my family had always gone to and I decided then that I would give my life to Christ. But honestly at four years old I had only given my life to Christ because that's what everyone else did. Through my early teenage years I had lost my connection with Christ. There were so many difficult situations I was going through that Christ seemed so distant from me and what I needed. But turns out what I really needed was Christ. At the beginning of my sophomore year I began to go to Young Life, and what a difference Young Life made on my life. Young Life…

    Before I was saved, I lived a very unhealthy lifestyle. Being the youngest in my family, I was constantly spoiled and protected. This led me to become a very prideful and ignorant child. I thought the world was great, my life was great, and I was great. Now I am not saying any of those things are not true, but my views changed quite a bit once I hit middle school. My sister had moved onto college at this point and I was alone to tackle middle school. I discovered a lot during those years but my biggest discovery was probably about my family. I learned that they weren’t the perfect figures I thought they were. My parents fought constantly and that left me devastated. On top of being spoiled and arrogant, I was also depressed.…

    By showing the love and honor that God places in our lives, the security of a fantastic future, the abilities and miracles that can be proven in the Bible are all good places to start. One can also give their own personal story or testimony of victory since giving their life to Christ. By witnessing to people, regardless of their background, God works through us to get His work done. The teaching of faith is very important in Christianity. One can describe faith as “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1 NKJV. The Bible has all the answers to life's…

    The Gospel of Christian is alleged in our traditions in many customs. Most people have the perception that if you are a Christian you feel you are holier than a non-believer.

On several occasions, friends and sometimes family become offended with the choices you make in becoming a Christian.

    Extreme Measures is about ethics. How far is someone willing to go, and how much we are willing to sacrifice, in order to cure the world's setbacks. Utilitarianism is defined as the moral philosophy that says we should act in such ways as to make the greatest number of people as happy as possible. In the movie, Dr. Myrick acts as the utilitarian. He takes healthy homeless people with “no purpose” to live into his lab and performs experiments on them for research to help people who are not able to walk, to try and walk again. He thinks these homeless people will not be missed because they basically have no purpose in life. Although, Dr. Myrick's intentions are good, he isn't going about it the right way. He's taking people against their free will. For consequentialist it doesn't matter what kind of thing you do. What matters is that we maximize good results. This is what he's trying to do; he's testing out procedures on these homeless people. He feels that if he practices on people who won't be missed, maybe he can get away with it, and help the many people who cannot walk. Not only does Dr. Myrick try and convey this message to sway another person into being utilitarian, but uses his utilitarian mindset and gives hope to the paralyzed. With this moral thought process Dr. Myrick is not taking into account the choices of the homeless people. He also isn’t taking the worth of each of these human beings into account and justifies through excuses. These excuses involve him making a decision on behalf of the homeless on the worth of their life, and its purpose, and the happiness these people have. Whereas the British doctor uses more of a Kantian ethics system and points out what the doctor has not taken into account.…
