THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHRISTIANITY AND OTHER RELIGIONS. This is something I have been thinking about a bit this week. There is a difference! As I was reading some conversations online and thinking about our homeschooling curriculum (we are learning about other countries, cultures, and religions), I realized that I didn’t know how to articulate the difference. But, then it came to me. The difference is relationship. We get to have a relationship with a loving Heavenly Father. We are different because we don’t follow all these rules to be good people and hope we can make it to heaven some day. We do everything because we love our Heavenly Father and don’t want to disappoint Him. Just as we wouldn’t want to disappoint anyone we love... it puts a strain on the relationship. It’s about relationship, not religion. So, if you are thinking about thinking about trying Christianity and wondering if it works... it does! It IS different from trying to be a good person or following the teachings of “good men.” It is about relationship with the most wonderful Father! He loves you and is just waiting for you to say yes to Him, yes to following Him. It isn’t a dry dusty thing for old people. He talks to you and comforts you when you are hurt and lonely. He shows you things He wants to change in your life. He wants a real relationship with you. It is worth it! ❤️
