Christians who believe in the Bible believe that it is their job to bring others the joy of salvation. Even if they're murdered, beaten to death, imprisoned - that's what you do for God.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Those who are believers in God find strength from their faith in the face of suffering. They are compelled to give sacrificially to help those in need. And they have the hope that comes from knowing that, with God by their side, the tragedy they are facing is never the final word.
The Christian - the biblical - concept of mercy toward wrongdoers only exists in relation to justice. Showing mercy, in relation to wrongdoing, means treating someone better than they deserve.
Salvation and Christ's love is a gift. You don't earn it. You've got to receive that gift.
I do not believe in the God of theology who rewards good and punishes evil.
Christians are supposed not merely to endure change, nor even to profit by it, but to cause it.
My belief as a Christian is when we receive Christ as salvation, that that gives us a guarantee for Heaven.
The Bible is replete with commands to persevere, especially in the face of injustice.
Death is not more certainly a separation of our souls from our bodies than the Christian life is a separation of our souls from worldly tempers, vain indulgences, and unnecessary cares.
The Bible calls us to love our neighbors, and to do justice and love kindness, not to indiscriminately kill one another.
The Bible says that Christians are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. On the job, in the grocery store, even among unsaved friends and family members, God's people are there to bring seasoning to an unsavory situation.
