What To Do When The Christian Faith Is Under Siege
The Christian faith today is being questioned. Undoubtedly many Christians fail to realize the essence of their faith leading to them to unconsciously sin. Undeniably they have been influenced with earthly desires that are contradictory to their faith. It is a sad truth that many ignore.
Even if we read the Bible often and spread the Word of God if we do not follow through, it is useless. Despite the trials, we should completely trust His unconditional love and live a happy disposition throughout the storm. This is hard to do for someone who is undergoing pain but if we are real followers of Christ we will be able to survive the trials.
Having a living relationship with our Creator would require us to live a Christ-like life. Sustaining this lifestyle may require great sacrifices that as human we will not be able to understand. However if we think about it, since when did the Lord forsake us? There is always a rainbow after a storm.
His great love has allowed us to survive the temptations of life. Those who believed in Him unconditionally have never perished. Despite the trials, they still live a prosperous life. As promised, the Lord provides. We just have to believe. Unfortunately due to the unforeseen events we tend to question that promise.
No one can understand the ways of the Lord. He permits things to happen to mold us into a better character. Just like a parent, he would reward as when we do good and punish as if we did wrong. The Lord knows what is best for us so without any question we should follow His bidding.
We are all children of God. We tend to take this for granted and push our limits. We ask but we never give back. We unintentionally break the bond as we sin yet we pride ourselves of being a soldier for Christ. Assess your faith. Try to accept your shortcomings and work out the difference. As Christians it is our responsibility to look after our brothers and ourselves. We should not allow Earthly temptation to get the best of us but instead we should be mindful of our words and our actions.
If the Lord sacrificed His only son for us, what is our right to not give everything up for the faith? A religion is just a group if it fails to show its faith. Do not claim anything until you can show it action. It is like looking in a mirror and forgetting how you look afterwards. Live the faith and earn its rewards.
