Leading a Christian lifestyle!
Someone said before "If you want to have an easy life, NEVER be a Christian! Being a Christian is not an easy life!" I do fully agree with what this anonymous person who said this sentence. Indeed, leading a life as a Christian is really hard. There are so many things a Christian cannot do compared to what others in the world can do.
For example, A Christian cannot lie, cheat, steal, and commit adultery, gossip etc… While a non-Christian can do all those mentioned above.
Yes, indeed, we are humans too. Yes, we experience things any ordinary humans would go through. Things like temptations, anger, greed, immoral thoughts etc… These are things EVERYONE in the world will experience. I was asked, "Why resist? Are you not a mere human? Just do it! It’s normal anyway! Are you a gay or not?"
When I heard these, I was rather agitated with these questions. Please know this, I am not angry with the person who asked me these questions but the spirit behind this person. It’s not from heaven, I’m sure about it!
Yes, I am a human. I am never gay and will never be one, now or forever! Yes, I am in this world but I am not of this world. I am born again! I am a Child of God! Bible says that I am to be Holy for He is Holy. Yes, this is one of the many temptations we, as Christians, have to face in our lives. What’s being a Christian without carrying the cross? The cross that so cruelly crucified Jesus more than 2000years ago, is it all in vain? What’s Christianity without crucifying oneself of the flesh?
Yes, those thing people enjoy, feel good and indeed are a pleasure to our flesh. However, being CLOSE to God is FAR MORE BETTER and MORE PLEASURABLE! It’s beyond one's wildest imagination!
Although there are Commandments in the bible that restricts us from doing certain acts/ things but it is for our very own good. Likewise, is the law in our country bad? IE: You shall not steal/ you shall not kill. Is it bad? NO WAY! It’s a way to protect us from facing death!
Another example:
Why would traffic police have traffic rules/ regulations? This is also to protect us. To keep us from getting harm and from dying prematurely!
I am rather bothered by something, which seem so common among the younger generations. Things like lying, violence, gangs, sex etc… I mean, these are wrong values! Who am I to judge? I don’t, that’s what the bible says, it’s wrong!
Nowadays, young people go into relationships and as a result of the relationships, most of them had sex! If they went into a relationship and did not manage to have sex, they would be laughed at! What in the world is this? This is really stupid and dumb! It’s really demonic, I should say!
If someone loves another, they will NEVER FORCE the person or ask the person to have sex with him/ her. They WILL RESPECT each other and will WAIT till marriage. Old fashioned? Yea… I guess I am BUT what if you get aids? What if you get (others/ yourself) pregnant? Will you be responsible? Are you able to take up such responsibility? What if the person is USING you as a TOOL to please him/ herself? After "using" you, these people will either leave you or use you till they have found another person to have sex with. So? (If you love someone or someone loves you, they WILL RESPECT you!)
Like I said, yes, being a Christian is indeed difficult. The teachings in the bible might be written thousand of years back BUT we are still humans! We still have feelings, still have needs in life. Whoever said we are the product of time and that we evolved from monkeys, ought to see if they still see monkeys loving or creating arts/ music/ have a sense of beauty etc… Get what I mean?
Although there are many things, which Christians cannot do and it’s tough living as a Christian, it’s to protect us from getting harm. Protect us from all those needless dangers we face. It’s a much safer life too!
Christian life is never boring too! Yes, we have to go Church every weekend, attend cell group etc… It’s to help us get to know more about God and to help us learn to be better as day goes. It’s to know what’s our purpose in life and why are we on earth for etc. We can encounter God, know what He likes and how is He like etc.
Therefore, in conclusion:
Although there are many things we cannot do, it’s for our very own benefit. It’s not to kill our joy/ fun. God wants us to have healthy fun and real joy. A joy from heaven and peace which NO ONE could give! Therefore, if I am smart, I’d take God than the sins of the world which FADES away…
