The Importance Of Religion And Religion In My Life

Religion was involved with many things in a person’s life. It affects things like social status, relationships, the economy, culture, and politics. The complex ideas of religion and politics have shaped societies. The Puritans have set their goal to make their society and way of living connected to God in every way, shape, and form. In the seventeenth century this standard to keep God by your side has deeply affected politics and lawmaking, and has even caused some people to be continuously persecuted. From the strength of their religious beliefs stemmed these radical ideas, which deeply affected lives in the 17th century. Though these ideas were a way of life at one point in time, if these ideas were applied to our government today the

As I have gotten older the church has begun to play an even bigger role in my life. My family and I attend Fellowship church every Sunday. Awhile ago I was afraid to go to the high school group on Wednesdays, but my mom insisted I go. Ever since I walked through that door God has blessed me more and more. I have met some of my greatest friends at my church. If I am ever having a bad day my mom will send me a bible verse and tell me to pray about it. I have learned that putting it all in God’s hands is the best way to go. My parents always try and set a good example for me by putting God first. My mom recently became a leader of a women's group at church. She helps with a bible study at a nursing home and serves in the preschool every Sunday. She sets a good example for me to get involved with the church. Not only do my parents set good examples of valuing religion, my grandparents do too. My mom’s dad is a retired pastor, the church he had was not very close so we were not able to attend much. My grandma always send me cards with inspirational bible verses, or send me books. Sometime she even sends me a text with a bible verse if she knows I am struggling or stressed out

I grew up in the St. Louis suburb of Eureka, where I still live today. If you ever look at me and wonder where that scar on my forehead came from, well it happened when I was roughly 12 months old when I fell out of a moving car. My parents raised me as a Methodist at the Eureka United Methodist Church. During my years attending Geggie Elementary School, every Sunday my parents would force me to get out of bed and go to Church with them. During church, all the children would go to Sunday school while the parents were listening to the sermon. In Sunday school, we had a teacher, sometimes my mom, who would give out fun church related activities. However, I did not enjoy doing that mostly because it involved getting out of bed early and since I did not like the subject matter either, but at that age, children do not fully grasp the importance of attending church and

The biblical creed and doctrine in which my core religious beliefs are founded upon originates from the message of the Gospel of the good news of Jesus Christ, which is rooted in the significance of the life of Jesus Christ. In Scripture, doctrine refers to the entire body of essential theological truths that define and describe the message of our soon coming King's core beliefs. For instance, the word of God declares, “Those who accept Jesus Christ will live for eternity with him after they die”(John 11:25, 26; 2 Corinthians 5:6). Further clarification of the word states, "Christians will be raised from the dead when Jesus returns" (1 Thessalonians 4:14-17), and lastly, "God will create a new heaven and a new earth" (2Peter 3:13). Specifically,

Being raised in a Christian home, I attended church quasi-regularly up until the age of six. Church participation after the age of six became inconsistent, due to conflict in the church that required the

The thing that strikes me the most is the fact that Jesus would have become man even if Original Sin didn’t enter our lives (Benedict XVI). It makes me feel really loved when I think about the fact that God wanted to come to us even if we didn’t fall. It shows that he loves us when we are good and bad. God planned to send his son to save us from our sins and give us eternal life because of his love for us (John 3:16). Another thing that strikes me is that even though it may seem like God is angry and demanding, he actually isn’t. God wanted to give us salvation, but the death of his son was not a ransom for this (Article). I never realized that God was willing to do anything to save us and share eternal life with us because of how much he loves us. I learned that God became human not only to save us from sin but to also show and teach us how to love others. I never thought of the Incarnation in that way, so it changed how I view the relationship between God and Jesus. God wants to show us how to treat others by Jesus’s example while saving us from sin at the same time.

In King James Version of the bible, it says and again I say unto you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. I ask myself several times in the past on how to attain perfection in my Christian and spiritual life .Perfection is far fetching in these modern days, freedom and liberty to do things now that was frown upon in the past. I will be reflecting on how comfort, modern society and politics have affected my spirituality in the last decade.

Pei was asking me the biggest decision that makes me started studying again. I shared about how God saved me when I was in my lowest point and He was the One who brought me into the light. She was surprised as she said that she would only find someone to express her sadness, instead to Buddha. They would only go to the Chinese Temple when they need money or asking for peace and health upon them. I was happy that finally I got the chance to share the main point of my faith! I shared her some Bible verses about Christ carries our burdens and sadness, especially John 14 where Jesus comforts His disciples.

Growing up, church was never a huge aspect of my life, but it was always around me. My grandmother was a deeply religious Catholic, and many of the kids on my street went to the church around the corner. Despite this, my mother never forced my sisters and I to go. She wanted us to choose our own beliefs. The proximity to Christianity influenced what I believe in today. I believe in God and that he created everything in the observable universe. The rest of the Bible, well, is debatable to me. Some call me an agnostic Christian, but the label doesn’t matter. As long as I can find faith and solace in something when I need it, I’m happy. What I ponder the most is the final chapter: death and the afterlife. What I hope is that everyone is delivered what they

I grew up in a Christian home and was baptized as an infant. And going to church every Sunday is a norm that we cherish in my household. Attending the mid and Sunday service was mandatory since my parents were very strict. Then I always feel excited attending the Sunday service and do not understand what it meant to be a Christian or believer. Those years, I always do everything that every non believer will do and do not understand what His sacrifice on the cross meant for me.

I have been raised in the Methodist church since the day I was born. Every Sunday morning you could find all five of us in the second row of the 8:30 service and then we would all go our separate ways for Sunday school. It was a rare week that we were not at church

Religion is defined and thought of in many different forms. When I think of the word religion, and the role it has in my life, I create a definition of what religion basically is in my head, from my personal experiences. Religion is a set of beliefs and values that one can base their life around. I also believe religion could be defined as something that one can base their thoughts and perceptions off of, meaning the way one thinks or understands something can originate from their religion. Religion can be defined by many different definitions, but I believe a person creates their own definition of religion by what they believe in and how they practice those beliefs.

Just recently within the last two years I have grown closer to God as well. Although not all people believe in the religion I believe in I have found when I dedicated my life to Jesus I have seen many changes in my life. Going to church and reading the bible has impacted my life in a major way I find myself calmer, happier and even positive. It has giving me a better lookout in life and helped me through a lot of troubled times.

When I was younger, my mother would take me to church on Sundays. Like most kids, I did not take anything from church except there was a tremendous hero in the sky who, when I passed, would take me to a wonderful place called Heaven. A few years ago, I finally understood what all of those Sundays at church meant. It

Faith in God is one of the most important qualities to have as a human being. God has put each and every one of us on this earth for a reason. We may not all know what the reason is, especially if we experienced a tragic event. There are many people who have strokes, heart attacks, cerebral palsy, brain aneurysms, and more, and not many people know why that event has to happen to them and at the time it did. But there is one person who does know, and that is God the father almighty. God has all of our lives planned out and has given a meaning for everything that happens in our lives. When people go through life with a disability, they will be going to occupational therapy sessions. At therapy is when they may open up about their faith and want to know why everything has happened like it did, they will want to know that God is still with them, and that God has a plan for them to progress so they can return to their normal lives. When I become a therapist, I will already have hours and hours of fieldwork that will help me in this aspect. I will be able to witness other therapists explaining the way of God to others, so I will be prepared, and know how to go about the subject when it comes up in a therapy session.
