Why I am a christian, and how it moves me.
Christianity gives you morals, a way to live by, a future, and most importantly: hope.



I base my faith around this statement. I don’t get why people try to fight Christianity. Wouldn’t you want to believe? Who wants to live an unfair life on earth, and then die and turn to dirt? I know I don’t. I like having something to live for, I like having hope.



Christianity is the world’s most popular religion. And with everything popular, there are fakers. And lots of Christians aren’t really Christians. They don’t go to church, they rarely prey, and they don’t have very much belief. I want to make sure I’m the best Christian I can be, so I can have all of the benefits of Christianity.



My mom is my model Christian. She is the leader of her bible study, rarely sins, goes to church whenever possible, and she knows what is important in life. She isn’t dramatic about little things. And I admire that. I feel that if I follow my moms example, I will live a better life on earth, and then in heaven. And I think every Christian can have another Christian they can learn from and be like.



When I lived in Africa, my family was robbed, and my maid held at gunpoint.



A lot of people would be scared, panicked or freaked out. But I wasn’t. I was more worried about how I was going to replace my army toys (which were stolen). And my mom, through Christianity, was a major reason for that. She told me never to be afraid, to trust in god, and remember how much better heaven will be than earth. And I needed that.



A lot of people are afraid of death. I’m not. I know that heaven is better than earth and that earth can be horrible. Of course, I’m in no rush to die. I know that Christ has plans for me, and I plan to fulfill them.



Christianity gives you morals, a way to live by, a future, and hope.



Those are the words I live by; those words are my belief.
