As with future posts, I write what may seem at times controversial. Truth sometimes is controversial, yet the truth must be told. That is the sole purpose of this blog. If you are reading this, then you are seeking truth and not hype.
Many seem confused about what Christianity is. Indeed, if ask, most Americans have an idea about what it means to be a Christian. However, most of the time these ideas seem to have something to do about working one's way into heaven or else a certain way of living. Unfortunately, given the confusion about what people think it means to be a Christian, various individuals and groups have tried to subvert the truth of Christianity and create a perversion of the truth.
In truth, the Christian faith is simple to define. However, to live it is another story. Christianity is not about religion, which is man working his way into heaven. It is about what God has done already through his son, Christ Jesus, on our behalf. If one truly believes this, then they already have assurance of salvation. The flip side of this is that if one believes this, then they should act in a manner as befits how Christ lived. This means humility and truth. Sometimes it means judging things which are wrong, regardless of how others view it.
How then should a modern Christian living in America live? They should live according the ten commandments and the teaching of Christ Jesus. They should do all their labor as if they were doing for God, for indeed they are. They should show compassion for others as the occasion warrants it. In like manner, they should seek for truth and justice in life. This is the duty of all Christians, not just in America, but throughout the world.
