Hmm...
Yesterday night my family celebrated my Mom's birthday cum Father's day. Well its been a long time since our whole family of 5 sat down together and eat. We really need much more gatherings like this, helps to build proximate relationship.
Then back at home after dinner outside, we sat in the living room, and my Mom mentioned to my dad about me and my Elder brother that we are Christians. (well they talked about it ever since we were home, haha) Alright so we are more like debating on the topic, (because they debated with the gospel, that's why) so my mom was like saying, who decides who goes up or down when I told her the 2nd coming of Jesus. She said: "then if I don't believe in Jesus, then I can't go back to God?", I told her that God put us in this world to test us of our love for him, whether we'll go back to him.
Btw, allow me to tell you my mom's thinking, she is thinking that as long as you do good stuffs (because she don't believe that everyone sins, and believes that sins must not be forgiven) you'll be brought back by the Lord, she believes in herself and not God at all, meaning: Nonreligious.
So well our belief is that, Jesus is the bridge to God, and that God forgive our sins, and set Jesus as our role model so that we would not sin. And my mom is like saying, forgive sins? Does that mean we can keep on sinning?
and the truth is: DO NOT think this way, it is forgiven as in, your PAST sin before you believe in Jesus Christ and after that they are forgiven so that you would not dwell in guilty because of your past sins. Therefore we always say Christians are "reborn".
Uh huh Uh huh, so I decided I should explain anymore because of the outer shell of people. (pride in short) Yeah, and my dad went: "I want watch tv, don't talk about such irrelevant stuffs already". In my mind I was thinking, because they do not have the vision we see, how can aiming for eternity life be irrelevant? We are living in short term time (world) but we are living a long term life (eternity).
That is why in the past when I lived without vision I always say, "don't care, as long as I live this life happily can already", that make sense as in we should really enjoy this life, learning from this life to help people in need more. We should aim far, and should not put ourselves at the highest point in our minds. In this way, you would not care how people perceive you as, meaning you won't have to worry you today look good or not, today wear this can or not. Because you are no longer that important to yourself, even when people dislike you, you won't be sad.
That is why I'm so happy now, because I've found my happiness, the true thing that'll make me rejoice every single day,
[ I just, want to be, more like you.. ].Anyway, I'm wondering, is there anyone that is curious to know why I became a christian in the 1st place? If you wanna know, please tell me at the tag board, lets see how many people will respond and that'll decide the next topic for my post. *GRINS*.
