All About Us - To Be A Christian

"What means the most to me of Christ is the careful love of God, ...that God is good so God surrounds Him. Therefore infinite more with Him and other believers, with goodness and no evil or bad is what I love greatly. The opportunity to praise Him because He is good, think about it, everything you like couldn't be possible without God."

"Why I'm a Christian is because instead of trying to do stuff to be perfect like other religions (example: Muslims who cover their faces to " please" God), Christianity accepts that there aren't. If we are humans, how can we please a God? Christianity says that we are not perfect but that Jesus paid the price for us so now God sees us as perfect. I don't see it as trying to be perfect or doing something to try and please God because we cannot. But because of what Jesus did for us, God accepts us out of love and I will take that free gift over trying to please God when I know I will only fail. God made a way and we did not. Ephesians 2:8 says, "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God." I would much rather believe that God made a way and rest in that fact whether trying to to spend my whole life pleasing Him when He already loves me for who I am. That is why I'm a Christian. Religion says do. Christianity says done. I am accepting God's gift of grace, and that is the hope that I have."
