Spiritual Renewal

 

Because this unit is basically about religion, I’d like to talk about my experience when I was Christian. When I used to devote my time to this religion, I was really different from now. The truth is that you really feel like your life is changed by a mighty being that you can’t see, but feel. I mean, comparing my current life to the one I used to have, I’ve got to be honest, I rather the one I had. I don’t mean that I’m not happy, don’t misunderstand me, what I really mean is, once you decide to take the step of accepting Jesus Christ as your only savior, you feel how things change: your life, your behavior… It’s something difficult to explain with words, but somehow is like a drastic change that affect your life, and the ones around you for good.

I know you’ll be wondering why I haven’t redeemed myself and return to the path of Christianity. Well, the answer is time. I’m not hypocrite. How can I tell you that I follow any religion if I don’t even dedicate at least one or two days to go to church, or read the bible? Or if I don't practice this religion on my everyday life, or follow its principles? No, I’m not that kind of person. 

I now eventually I’ll go back to church and devote my time to Christianity once again. I just hope it isn’t too late. 

Now I’d like to share some interesting facts about Christianity. 

Interesting Christianity Facts:

  • Most Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and that his coming was predicted in the Old Testament of the Bible.
  • Christians believe that Jesus will return to earth in the Second Coming of Christ one day to judge humans for their sins and to grant eternal life to those who believe in and follow his teachings.

  • There are approximately 800 million Protestant Christians worldwide today.

  • Each year approximately 78.5 million Bibles are distributed worldwide.

  • The religious professionals of Christianity include priests, bishops, archbishops, patriarchs, pastors, ministers, preachers, and deacons.

  • Christians believe in one God, essentially a trinity of Holy Spirit, Father, and Son.

  • Christians believe that the afterlife includes an eternal heaven or hell depending on whether the individual has faith in God, in Christ's resurrection, and how they lived their life and worshipped God.

  • Although Christianity is the largest religion in the world, and practiced in many countries around the world, it is mainly practiced in North America, South America, and in Europe.
