Being a Christian Have Several Advantages

It is getting harder and harder for people to find peace and joy in this modern world. Nowadays, people usually have some stress from school or the workplace. They usually choose other ways to release stress like drinking alcohol, smoking, or even taking drugs. However, these solutions often make people getting worse and also can not really solve the problems. Therefore, being a Christian may bring some advantages to those people. There are three reasons such as changing the way you look at life, extending social contact, going to heaven after death.

First, being a Christian can change the way you look at life. In the church, you can listen to preacher during the worship and also pray to God. For example, you can not only learn moral concept and knowledge from preacher and Bible but also pray to God for everything about life no matter it is god or bad. Talk to God can make your life getting peaceful and wonderful. Also, out of the church, you can think about your behavior as a Christian and follow the rules of Bible and righteous that you learned and believe in. For instance, this world is full of temptation and evil, so you can help yourself by using knowledge that you learned from church. And you can also pray to God when you feeling sad or helpless because God can help you through those sufferings.

Second, you can extend your social contact.You will meet brothers and sisters in the church. There are large members in the church and some of them are Christians for a long period .Therefore, they are all friendly and willing to talk to you. For example, you can try to make friends in the church because it just like a small society and most of them are willing to make friend with you too. You may meet someone new during an evangelization. As a Christian, you need to preach to someone who lived without religious or who needed help, and then you can make friend to those people because Christians are with love and consideration.

Finally, you will go to heaven after death. You need to repent to God and baptized and follow the Bible because in (John 3:5) “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God” and (Acts 2:38) “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. “You can also avoid punishment and have eternal life. In (John3:15-21) That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

I believe that being a Christian can help you to change your life getting well with love and hope. Also, you can extend your social contact by the church that you never had before and you will be happiness during those experiences. And the most important is being a Christian can bring you to heaven after death. So why don’t you come to our church and see it is true or not.
