Why does Christianity kept insisting
That
only by believing in Jesus Christ
Can a person be
acceptable to God?
All religions teach humankind to be
good
Christianity only claimed that no human
being could be perfect
Christians are no
exception.
In Matthew chapter 5, Jesus said,
You have heard that it is wrong to kill
I
want you to know, that whoever says,
"You
fool!" is guilty enough to go to hell.
You have heard that it is wrong to commit
adultery.
I want you to know that when you
looked at a woman lustfully,
You have committed
adultery.
You have heard that it is wrong to swear
falsely.
I want you to know that it is wrong to
swear.
(For those who scream "Jesus
Christ"
As part of their daily language, take
note.)
You have heard that it is all right to trade
blow for blow.
I want you to know that if you
were attacked
You must not strike back.
If
they borrowed from you,
Do not expect
repayment.
You have heard that it is all right to love
only your friends
And not your enemies.
I
want you to know that you must love your
enemies.
If they stabbed you at the back, pray
and wish them
well.
Back
Romans 7:14 said,
'Humankind does not have the
spiritual power to do so'.
There is a spiritual dimension to
perfection.
It has to be because it is God's
standard.
When Adam and Eve ate the fruit from
the tree of good and evil
The image of God in
them died (Genesis chapter 3).
Since humankind cannot reach God's
standard,
God had to come up with a solution
because
He is the Father to humankind.
He
decided to come down to humankind
in the person
of Jesus Christ.
Christians should live their lives
The way
Jesus did while He was on earth.
However if they
failed, they need not fear.
Once a person commits
oneself to God,
God in turn commits Himself to
redeeming that person.
That is why Christianity claimed that
If you
wanted to enter the Kingdom of God
You have to
believe in God and His salvation plan
Revealed
completely and clearly in the Bible.
Entering the Kingdom of God is not about how good
you are
As compared to Dirty Harry.
It is
about, 'are you perfect by God's standard'.
If
you are not then the only way is to accept God's
salvation.

Does this mean that Christians
Tend to be
careless in their lifestyle?
Why do you ask?
Christians are not perfect,
but are they worst
Christianity has a rich tradition
Of extending
love across cultures
To strange people in strange
land
The latest testimony is Sister Theresa of
India
She nursed those even their own
forsook.
Christians are people who try as hard as the next
person
To live a responsible life.
Christians
are people who knew that they are bad
So they
shouted out, "God help me?"
God replied, "I am
here, take my hand."
We called this the grace of
God.
It is for every one.
Every race and
culture.
Hand in hand, God walked with them
Through
this troubled world.
Christians will stumble but
they will not fall.
They are not perfect but will
continue to strife for perfection
