What if you're not a Christian? Have you ever thought of this question before? What if you are not a Christian....how would you be living your life? I thought of that question quite a few times now. If I am not a Christian today, I will probably be a wild at heart girl. To be very honest, I think I will give in to lying, cheating, putting up a false front, be very selfish. I'm a Scorpio. =p I may even enter into many relationships without having so much in my considerations (if you read my previous blog entry, you should know what I mean). I may even think that pre-marital sex is not wrong. In fact, I would base my moral values on the society TODAY. The type of culture I am in, that would be what is right. But at the same time, certain things I may not really do it. Like pre marital sex, or committing some crime like stealing and cheating in exams. But I know that my unwillingness to do all these is NOT because I have great moral standards, but rather fear of parents' disapproval upon finding out, fear of the way other people look at me, and just fear in general. That's why I thank God I am a Christian...I am not governed by fear, I am governed by God! I choose to stay "within the books" because God in His sovereignty shown the better life to me if I choose His way. And that is by abiding to the right moral values for the sake of righteousness but more importantly, to reflect the image of God. Can you imagine living your life being governed by fear? Everything you believe and do, you do it because fear is ruling over you? I can't. At my limit, I know I'll definitely face a breakdown. I will want freedom, and breakthrough. I will come to a point when I ask "is there more to life than living in constant fear?" Thank God for GOD. Even before I have to face that point, He has already rescued me. And I'm living happily in this better life for the past 4 years already. =) I'm quite sad people think Christianity is some rigid, restrictive religion that is simply full of theories. If freedom is doing whatever you want, and freedom is happiness, then is the freedom of committing suicide going to lead you to happiness? Is freedom of inflicting hurt on others going to lead you to happiness? What is freedom? Can I question the definition of FREEDOM in this entry. Does it really mean doing whatever you and I want? Something to think about. Labels: contemplative, revelation 1:04 AM
