Ours is a world full of different faiths and beliefs. Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Jainism, Buddhism are among the majorly followed religions. Christianity is the religion which has the most number of world population, followed by Islam and then Hinduism. . Strangely all religions speak of love and peace.
All religions follow God but in varied forms. Religion is one of the major reasons of fight between countries. But strangely all religions speak of love and peace. All the religious leaders also try to propagate love amongst mankind as their beliefs. Christianity is one such religion which is the epitome of Love of God towards mankind.
Christianity is a monotheistic religion and based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Followers of this religion are called Christians. Jesus Christ is known as the son of God who came to this earth to redeem mankind. He died for the sins of the mankind and according to Bible, rose again on the third day and later ascended to heaven. The Bible says that those who believe on him will not perish but have eternal life. Jesus Christ gave love, hope, peace and joy to the mankind. Christianity is perceived by its followers more as a way of life rather than a religion. The followers adopt the traits of Jesus Christ in their day to day life. Simple teachings like being humble, being patient, to be loving and caring towards everyone, etc. are the ones mostly followed by Christians as a whole.
Christains as a whole are a peace loving folks. According to them going to church gives them the much required peace and joy.
I had cherished a long term desire to go to a church which got fulfilled one fine Sunday. The Church did not behold the outward beauty that we have always seen in pictures but very well attracted my attention. On the outside was a cross and on a white board was written, “Come all ye that are heavy laden and I will give you rest”. I reckoned that it was a verse from the Bible. I went inside to see the church and got all the more surprised by the whole number of verses written across the walls. One could really feel the peace of God through the beautiful songs and other worship. The songs were really melodious and were sung in a choir which made it all the more heavenly. The sermon was also about love and peace - which in its true sense is missing from whole of humanity.
After listening to the sermon my mind began to wander about what all other religion speak about the same topic. I realized to my surprise that all the religion along with the religious leaders speak of this same topic more often than necessary. Be it the Bishops or other religious leaders like Nirmal baba, Asaram Bapu, all speak of the same. But what effect it has brought to the society as a whole is a question to be asked.

Great job :-)
ReplyDeleteFor me Christianity is not a theory or speculation, but a life; not a philosophy of life, but a life and a living process.
I think Christianity is a beautiful way of life, truly said as the epitome of the Love of God towards mankind
ReplyDeleteAs a Christian I believe that, as human beings we have nothing to boast as God is the potter and we are just the clay in his Hands. We can be at peace, if we leave everything on Him, rather than we trying to do and get it all wrong.
ReplyDeleteI thank God that Jesus died for me and by His death I am redeemed from sin, sickness & death. And by believing on his death and resurrection, I can be made worthy of His eternal Kingdom.
