Description The term "Christian" has taken on many connotations in our modern culture. To some, it's an old grandma that attends a stuffy church every Sunday. To others, it's a religious zealot caught in tradition. And to many, it's a naive idiot who dares to believe in a loving God.
But to me, it's everything. It's love, truth, freedom, joy, and peace. It's LIFE. Life with hope, life with purpose, life with a destination, and life that will never end. REAL life comes only through Christ, who set us free from anything and everything that could ever destroy us- namely our own sin. This world is corrupt and depraved, but in Christ we have a solid rock to stand on- a refuge and stronghold. I am more certain of this than any other thing, and I know beyond all doubt that God is real and that his word is truth.
This life that comes ONLY through Jesus is a free gift for whoever will trust in him. And to shatter another misguided perception, he is so much more than just a ticket to heaven. He's a best friend, a comforter, a guider, and a supporter. Most importantly, he's a Savior, and he loves each and every one of us more than we can fathom. Why else would he suffer a horrifying death to save us from our own self-destruction?
It all boils down to a simple reality, which is that we all have a choice. Those who place their trust in him will be blessed beyond measure and will spend an eternity with him. Those that ignore him or decide against him will spend an eternity without him.
So what will it be?

Man, no truer words were ever spoken about Jesus. You're right that Jesus is the rock to hold us up in this world of depravity & hatred. I just wish certain members of his religion wouldn't use said rock to harm those that they don't agree with.

When I first saw the thumbnail of the picture I thought the cross was made of two slabs of bacon...

Yours is the one that stuck out.

it is so difficult to hold onto one's faith in this modern world, but it is so worth it. I know it probably sounds "cheesy", but amen! I couldn't agree with you more, and I am so in awe of you for not being afraid to be yourself. Too many times have I seen people bow to the temptation of this earth. Thank you, for this, because it's going straight into my favorites, where I hope people will look and see it, and think upon Jesus' sacrifice. God loves, and so should we. Peace!

I completely agree. I don't think enough people understand the responsibility of being a Christian. It's one thing to go to Church, but it's another to be part of the Church, the body of Christ. I truly believe that we have to be an example, a witness, the Bible calls for that.... The truth is, that we live by the Word, and our actions become a reflection of Him... We could be the only Bible that people get to read.

Praise the Lord for taking the stand you did. You are an awesome Child of God!!!!!!

Thanks for your support! It's great to hear from a fellow believer. And you are very right, we could be the only Bible that people ever get to read...which makes it all the more important to stand for the truth.
God bless!
Sarah
