Why Start With Christianity? (part 2)

Canadian Hockey is not a faithful God. I have nothing against hockey, and I am genuinely disappointed with the third period. But I would suggest you put your ultimate hope for joy, inner peace, and satisfaction in something else. Not sure what or whom? Well I would suggest Jesus, and this is the second reason you should start your spiritual search with Christianity.

Salvation Is Free 

Unlike any other religion, and especially unlike Islam, you don’t have to work your butt off to receive new life/get to heaven. All other religions have you trying to get to God, only Christianity has God coming to you (in the person of Jesus Christ). God is the active pursuer of individuals, because this is what love is. Love pursues. And the Christian God – and only God – is love. This means that it doesn’t start with you trying to save yourself. Its you, being just the way you are, receiving the gift of new life.  This is so that no one can boast. Click this to read how early Christians describe this free gift.

It is a gift. Free. And it is this grace that is so power, not how much you do on your own.
