How Christianity Brings Meaning to Life

Christianity. It is one of many religions in the world but it is one that a lot of people believe in. 

As of 2021, there are 2.38 billion Christians in the world.

For a lot of people, Christianity brings meaning to life, while others may not understand it. 

How does it do this? These are some of the reasons. 

Purpose

Because Christians believe in God, they tend to believe that everything that happens in their life, for the better or worse, God plans for them for a reason. 

Let’s say you find out that your father had a terminal disease, and he did nothing wrong to others in the world while he was healthy. You may think the world is unfair, and you might lose some of your values if you start to believe they don’t matter. 

Believing in God and being part of Christianity gives you purpose, as there are even bible verses about overcoming. 

With God, you know that everything happens for a reason, it is all part of the plan, and that there is light at the end of the tunnel, even if it is not of this world. 

Forgiveness

Another thing about Christianity is that forgiveness is heavily preached as part of the belief. You may hit rock bottom in your life, with no one else to turn to except a fellow Christian that might look out for you. 

An example of this is if you are an alcoholic. A lot of AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) meetings take place in local churches because Christians believe in forgiveness and second chances. 

You may have drunk to the point where you permanently damaged your relationship with your family and even made a mistake such as a DUI while drunk that you cannot take back. 

The beauty of Christianity is that it does not matter what you did in the past IF you are truly sorry and are ready to put your trust in God’s hands. This is part of why the religion is so loved because people that hit rock bottom have somewhere to turn to climb out of a hole they might have put themselves in. 

Afterlife 

This somewhat connects with purpose but Christianity does preach that there is an afterlife. Some people that are not Christians do not believe in this and think that once you are dead, that is it. 

Believing in an afterlife, particularly Heaven and Hell to separate the good and bad people of the world, not only gives you purpose and motivation to do the right thing but also hope that there is a light at the end of the tunnel once you are done with your time in this world. 

If you lost a close relative, a spouse, or even a child due to some horrifying reason, believing in Christianity can give you hope to be together again in another universe.
