Christianity: What Makes It Different From Other Religions?

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. - John 14:16

What makes a Christian different from other people of different religion?

Many times People are been told to come to Jesus and accept Him and become a Christian (I.e Christ Like). 

But to everyone out there who is wondering what is the different between a Christian and other Religions... some do wonder and ask if we ain't serving the same God. Muslim, Buddhist, Ifa, Hindu etc....

Some even ask what happen to those that doesn't believe in God (the atheists).

While many of the world’s religions have similar features, biblical Christianity differs radically from them all. There are a handful of things which put it in a category of its own. Without understanding these differences, we cannot properly comprehend Christianity.

The First Difference:
Christianity is more than a religion, it is a way of life. Christianity is not really a religion that was started. Rather, it is the God and Creator of the universe continuing his self-crafted plan of providing the way for fallen humanity to be reconciled into permanently right relationship with him. Christianity simply observes the progressive outworking of God’s merciful, saving plan to his human creatures in the Person of Jesus Christ. As Christ stepped on the scene over 2000 years ago, it was not so much the beginning of a new religion as it was the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plans. Those plans did not happen to start with a Jewish rabbi and his obscure followers. Christianity is not the product of a dynamic social-revolutionary in the land of Israel. Rather, it is the product of God’s sovereign orchestration of time and history for the redemption of an unworthy people through the God-man, Jesus Christ. When God incarnate arrives, he is methodically continuing what he founded: the plan of redemption. And it’s a plan which started a long, long time ago; to be precise, prior to the existence of any human being.

A Christian isn't a Christian because he/she is born into a Christian family...

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive.  When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me...

Song: These Walls

You are good and do good;....  - Psalm 119:68  Few months back, I came across an inspiring song by Jason David who happens to be a pastor.  He was diagnosed with cancer. After a year-long fight with cancer that claimed much of his tongue, Pastor Jason David refuses to stop singing. "These Walls" is an original worship song he wrote that became his anthem as he fought through several surgeries, chemotherapy & radiation. For someone going through challenges; financial, health, marital, academic, whatever it may be, I pray this song will bless you - no matter what walls or mountains you may face, God is greater & God is good!  Below are the lyrics of the song: Verse: You are greater than these walls I'm circling  You are stronger than these army  I see You are bigger than these mountains that I faced And I will choose only to praise You. Pre - Chorus  This is my song, these is my dare To worship you even as thes...
