What's It All About?

Ask different Christians what the Christian life is all about and you will get different answers. Some Christians claim it is all about following the commands of God. Some Christians claim that it is all about serving others. Some will say it's all about love. And others will give you entirely different opinions. So who's right? I believe they all are to a degree. To me the Christian life is about continuing the journey, about constantly seeking God's will and trying to implement that into our lives. God asks us to follow His commands but we must be careful to remember that it is by His grace and not our works that we are saved. He asks us to serve others but again the focus must be on God and not ourselves. He claims that the greatest among faith, hope, and love is love but we must undertand that God is love and what love truly is. In other words, no matter what part of Christianity we tend to fucus on, we must remember that our focus must be on God or there will be negative consequences. Focusing on our SELF is the root of SELFishness. And selfishness is the root of greed, lying, cheating, stealing, murdering, adultery, etc. All of which are hurtful acts that tear apart families and relationships. When we focus on God we are heading in the right direction. We are taking the focus off ourselves and on someone with pure motives. This is obviously a short and simple explanation and I could spend much more time on the subject, but then you would probably get tired of reading it and would stop visiting my blog.
