Live The Life


Yes, Christianity is about heaven! To live in eternal bliss with our Creator is its great reward (Rev. 21:3-7). Yes, Christianity is about assembling for worship (Heb. 10:25). Yes, it is about quiet moments of Bible study, prayer and meditation. But the Christian religion is also about living a rewarding and  meaningful life. Jesus came that we might have an abundant life (John 10:10). His sacred message includes guidance for the everyday, ordinary aspects of life. It deals with human relations (Matt. 7:12).  It speaks of personal integrity; matters such as honesty, truthfulness, and personal responsibility.  It has much to say about home and family duties (Eph. 5:22-25; 6:1-4).  It teaches us to be good neighbors and to help those who are weak (Jas. 1:27; Gal. 6:10).  It promises joy and happiness to all who love and follow Christ with all their heart (Matt. 22:37; Phil.4:4). It shows us how to deal with adversaries and enemies (Rom. 12:17-21). It reminds us of our duty to share the  blessings of salvation with those with whom we come in contact  (Acts 8:4). We are to live our message so that our neighbors can see the influence of Christ in our lives and be drawn to the Father (Matt. 5:14-16).  It prepares us to face aging, suffering and the end of our earthly lives (II Tim. 4:6).

Live the Christian life to the fullest!  You will find more happiness and satisfaction than you ever dreamed of. Jesus guarantees it.  On top of all of that, you will have heaven to look forward to!
