I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.  Why are you a Christian?  How has Jesus Christ influenced your life?  How do you represent Christianity to others?




Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. -Matthew 22:37-39

Death's awful mystery comes upon us suddenly, and soul and body 
are violently severed, divorced from their natural union by the 
will of God. What shall we do at that hour if we have not thought 
of it beforehand, if we have not been instructed concerning this 
eventuality and find ourselves unprepared? 

St. Nil Sorsky



This is the mark of Christianity--however much a man toils, and 
however many righteousnesses he performs, to feel that he has done 
nothing, and in fasting to say, "This is not fasting," and in 
praying, "This is not prayer," and in perseverance at prayer, "I 
have shown no perseverance; I am only just beginning to practice 
and to take pains"; and even if he is righteous before God, he 
should say, "I am not righteous, not I; I do not take pains, but 
only make a beginning every day." 

St. Macarius the Great



I fall down, and then I get up, only to fall down again.

An Orthodox Monk's reply when asked why he devotes his live to helping the poor.



Faith and love which are gifts of the Holy Spirit are such great 
and powerful means that a person who has them can easily, and with 
joy and consolation, go the way Jesus Christ went. Besides this, 
the Holy Spirit gives man the power to resist the delusions of the 
world so that although he makes use of earthly good, yet he uses 
them as a temporary visitor, without attaching his heart to them. 
But a man who has not got the Holy Spirit, despite all his 
learning and prudence, is always more or less a slave and 
worshipper of the world. 

St. Innocent of Irkutsk, Indication of the Way into the Kingdom of 
Heaven.

I'm a Christian because in eternity past God chose to extend His mercy and grace to me through the offering of Himself on the cross in the person of Jesus Christ, to redeem me and rescue me from sin.

Jesus has transformed my life and continues to transform my life into what He created and called me to be.

I represent Christ to others by allowing Him to exercise His Lordship over my life, doing what He tells me to do. Unfortunately that representation is FAR from perfect. He is still working in me "to will and to do of His good pleasure."
