The influence of faith.

Good morning. Monday, Jan 12, 2008. Christian's are those people who believe in Jesus. What does that mean? We might think that believe is just something taking place in the mind. Often belief today is put into the domain of privacy. Belief is thought to be nothing which would be of relevance for the job, for business or science, medicine or craftmanship. Is that really true?

What poor belief do we have if it does not influence our life. What poor belief do we have if it would not change our thinking, our emotions and our actions - at least in the long run. What poor belief do we have if it does not change society?

Our faith has a strong impact on our life, on today and tomorrow. There are several reasons for this. First, faith is the attitude of our life. If we believe in Jesus we cannot continue to lie. We cannot steal any more. We cannot pretend to be someone else than we are. Often christians fail again and again with these things. But still things are bound to change in our life and our communities. That is because of the second reason: God is real. He is not just an ideal or an idea. God in father, son Jesus and the Holy Spirit continues to be the strongest force on the planet - though with a special agenda of faith, of people finding peace by their own free decisions to come to faith. God did not choose to come by force, but by the gospel of love and forgiveness. [R.P., Reading, UK]
