What it means to be a Christian in the 21st Century

Even though majority of the world population belongs to Christian religion, it is not so in Asia. To be a Christian and practice our faith in every aspect of life is quite Challenging. Here majority of the people are ignorance about Christianity and Christ.







A Brief Outlines.
  1. Misconceptions or incomplete notions about Christianity.
  2. A mere religious system.
  3. A mere moral system.
  4. A social or humanitarian system.
  5. An escape from the realities of life.
            We can not give all the answers but as Christian we need to live a life worthy of the call. We are the only Bible people around are reading. That's why all these things are happening. The true essence of Christianity is in union with God, made possible through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is a relationship initiated by God, out of His mercy and love for us. With science and technology we did not discover God, it was He who took the first step and draw us to Him. (Titus 3:3-7) When we accept God's invitation, we become a new creation and participate in the very life of Christ, taking on the nature of God, which is holiness.(Col 3:5-10)
           Thus, we become son of God.(Gal 4:4-7) Therefore, we are brothers and sisters in Christ and are committed to care for one another. We can trust in God because He is our loving Father, we can stop worrying because God knows our needs and will provide for us. (Lk 12: 22-31, Lk 11:9-13) Will you continue to be open to discover the fullness of God's plan for you? Can you do this in an absolute trust in God, ready to place yourself completely in His hands? Since life on earth is temporary, we are to look to things that will enrich us for our eternal life rather than for this earthly life. Then we can have peace and joy in spite of any circumstances. (Rom 8:28-39)

Have a blessed lent
