Christians are first and foremost those who chose the Truth of Christ, that He died on the cross to pay our wage of sin (Romans 6:23), defeated death by raising on the third day (Romans 4:24). From a non believers point of view that all sounds ridiculous, impossible etc... But let me tell you something... On this side of Grace, it is an absolute, tangible, and joyful Truth that I would not trade with my life. The enlightenment through Christ is the most rewarding and humbling aspects of who I am. There is so much to it and is so complicated, yet so very simple. Of course there are so many that scoff and scowl at what they don’t understand. There are powers of this world that feed toward the hate of what we know as the Truth. Why do they care so much about belittling us in what we know to be true? Why is what the Christians believe drive so many to anger rather that just shrug their shoulders and go on with their lives like they treat other religions?
The problem with Christianity today is the lack of recognition of the objective reality of it. Much of Christianity is conforming to the worlds standards by molding, and making the Word of God to fit their needs. A Christ that wants to be personal desires a closeness through a relationship with Him through the Holy Spirit, not created personal in the aspect of conforming Him to YOUR needs. It all boils down to our need for Him... The deterioration of this world and our sinful nature draws us closer to Him. Our need for Him is key to His intentions and we are rewarded with our choice. We all have the choice to chose or reject that Truth.
