Why do we believe in God?

What should the saints do if they just talk without gratitude, grace, blessings, or love in the pastor's sermon emphasizing Sunday worship? Even if you swear at politicians or say something that seems to be cursed by the world, how can you be called a Christian while learning evil and fighting in such a church?

Why do we believe in God?

I wonder if anyone is not concerned about believing in God. Why do we believe in God? This question leads us to rethink the nature of faith. We experience God's love and grace, and we have faith in order to achieve peace and hope in it. This is to follow the teachings of loving and forgiving each other and living like the light and salt of the world. If the church feels like it is promoting division and condemnation away from this essence, it is necessary to think deeply about it.

It may be a natural process to constantly think about believing in God. Our beliefs sometimes shake and we ask questions in the face of an incomprehensible reality. The important thing is to move toward more mature faith through that concern.

A healthy religious life is achieved through positive and constructive teaching. In a community full of love, forgiveness, grace, and gratitude, we can build a deeper relationship with God and have a good influence on the world.

If the current church feels different from this direction, one way may be to try to talk seriously, or to find a community of faith that suits you.

The important thing is to enjoy true peace and joy in God without losing faith in God under any circumstances.

Most saints do not actually move churches just because they are disappointed with the sermon. The reason is that the church has the functions of worship and teaching, fellowship, evangelism, and service. Although sermons actually take on a large proportion, they are often not a large proportion for any saint. The reality is that it can be replaced because good sermons can be accessed through Christian books or YouTube.

The level of elementary school students who say they don't want to go to school because they don't like the teacher is saying that they want to move to church because they don't like the pastor's sermon. In the long run, the pastor can also be replaced or changed, so you can actually wait. That is why the fruit of patience becomes an important virtue.

Resurrection in Christianity

Resurrection refers to the phenomenon of being revived after death. The concept emerges in various cultures, religions, and philosophies, but the most widely known is the resurrection of Jesus Christ in Christianity.

Resurrection in Christianity:

Core doctrine: The resurrection of Jesus Christ in Christianity is one of the most core doctrines. According to the New Testament, Jesus was crucified and died, and then he was revived three days later.

Meaning:

Victory over sin and death: The resurrection of Jesus symbolizes the victory over the power of sin and death and the eternal life.

The basis of Christian faith: Paul the Apostle said, "If Christ has not been brought back to life, it will be in vain for us to spread, and your faith will be in vain." (Corinthians 15:14) and emphasized the importance of resurrection.

Believers wish for resurrection: Christians wish that through the resurrection of Jesus Christ they will also gain eternal life after death. This is described as the "resurrection of the body" and believes that those who died on the last day will come back to life, be judged, and enjoy an eternal life.

Biblical records: The resurrection of Jesus is recorded in many places in the New Testament, including Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The main contents include empty tombs and testimonies of those who met the resurrected Jesus.

Easter: In Christianity, Easter is observed every spring to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Resurrection in other religions and cultures:

Reincarnation ideology (Buddhism, Hinduism, etc.): The concept is that after death, the soul is reborn through another body, and it has a different meaning from the resurrection of Christianity. Here, it means that individual beings are not fully restored, but start a new life in the flow of the soul.

Ancient mythology: The stories of dead and resurrected gods exist in different cultures, including Osiris in Egyptian mythology and Adonis in Greek mythology. It symbolically represents the cycle of life, regeneration, hope, etc.

Shamanism: Some shamanistic cultures believe that the souls of the dead again influence the present world or are reincarnated in certain forms.

Philosophical Perspective:

Philosophers like Plato argued that the soul exists separate from the body, and that even when the body dies, the soul does not disappear and exists forever. This is a different concept from the resurrection of Christianity, but it shares a belief in existence after death.

Phenomenology: Some modern philosophies interpret resurrection as a radical change in human existence or a shift towards a new dimension, rather than merely biological regeneration.

In conclusion, 'resurrection' is a concept that contains various beliefs and interpretations of life after death. In Christianity, it represents the core doctrine of overcoming sin and death and obtaining eternal life through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and in other religions and cultures, it appears in various forms, including reincarnation, reincarnation, and mythical symbols.
