Let’s Remember What Christianity Is Really About
These days, it’s easy to see people using the Christian faith for various reasons. Sometimes, they push ideas or actions that don’t align with what Jesus taught. But when the core message of Christianity is twisted or misused, it’s not just a small mistake. It actually goes against the very reason why Christ came to earth, died, and rose again.
At its heart, Christianity is about love, forgiveness, and hope. According to the Christian faith, Jesus didn’t come to start fights. He didn’t come to divide people. He didn’t give anyone a license to judge others. Instead, He came to offer a new way. This way is centered on grace and compassion. It gives everyone the chance to be made right with God.
Using the name of Christ to justify hatred, greed, or unfairness is incorrect. It goes against what Jesus was about. The Bible says Jesus reached out to the outcasts. He forgave people who made mistakes. He even gave His life to bring everyone closer to God. His resurrection is seen as proof that love is stronger than death. It shows that new beginnings are possible, no matter what.
So, misrepresenting or misusing the Christian faith isn’t just a harmless error. It’s an insult to the deep love and sacrifice that, according to Christianity, Christ offered for all of humanity. If we really want to honor that, we should focus on essentials. These essentials are kindness, honesty, and treating others the way we’d like to be treated. That’s the message Jesus lived—and why He matters to so many people today.
Let’s take a moment to remember that Christ gave up so much for all of us. His love and sacrifice changed the world forever. No matter what we face, let’s hold on to that hope. Be grateful and never forget what He did for us. You are loved and never alone.
In His Service,
Minister A. Francine Green
