Salivation is the deliverance from sin and its consequences, believed by Christians to be brought about by faith in Chris. According to Christian Belief’s, Christians believed that life is sacred and therefore they have a responsibility to others and themselves and are taught that all men should be treated with respect "Respect your father and your mother, so that you may live a long time in the land I have given you. (Exodus 20.13)
Christians are taught the meaning of Salvation and that it is needed in order to be delivered, yet salvation is not so easily achieve. Christians are instructed that after death on earth, there is another life, a life where we will either burn in eternity in the fiery pits of hell or we would soar with angels

God knows that humans are not perfect, he witness this the day that Adam and Eve disobeyed him. And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.” (Genesis 2:16-17 .)Although with the advice that God had given Adam and Eve they still made a decision to disobey God, but he did not lose hope for them ever after the decision they made once they were told not to do it. Each and every day that they lived after they committed their wrong doings, they were given a chance to redeem themselves. God did not put death upon them right away, he gave them the time to regain his trust back. As years went by and the species of mankind grew and grew, and the sins were committed by humans each and every day countless times, he sent his only begotten son on earth, who was tortured by the ones he was trying to save. He sacrifice his son so that his son shall walk this earth again proving that he is the son of our father’s and that there is a life and hope after death on earth. God set rules for humans to live by, and although most still do not follow his word, he does not instantly give up on …show more content…
For if you do these things, you will never stumble, 11 and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 1:10-11)
I believe God makes each and every one different, yet the same. We are all God’s children and should not look down on each other and think that we are inferior to the next person, because in God’s eye we are all created equal. We are all put on this earth for a reason and if we live by God’s rule we would live a much easier life, but if we fight our destiny then we will tarnish.
I believe that after we die that there is life after death. I believe that once someone has moved on there is another world and the choices we make as we live on earth is nothing but a test to determine how we will spend eternity. Believing that there is a higher being makes life a lot easier when life feels as though it is hard. To be human is to make mistakes, but to believe that God gives us chances to redeem ourselves to be saved, fills Christians with hope, faith, and love, especially when you feels as the world is against you. There is so much grief, sadness, pain, and temptation in the world, having faith that there is someone higher and that there is a place where such things as pain does not exists, makes life easier to go on. The fact they we all know that one day we will die because no one lives
Differing Functions in Popular Culture It only makes sense that there are countless novels and films focused on the afterlife when we consider the human race 's collective interest in what happens after death. Several popular movies have presented different versions of the afterlife, each with their own purpose. Beetlejuice (1988) tells the story of two individuals who pass away in their home, and must navigate their new existence in the afterlife by reading a book entitled Handbook for the Recently Deceased. In this movie, the two deceased individuals seem to be in an intermediate realm between Earth and the Netherworld (similar to Hell); they are in regular contact with a girl living in their previous home, but they also visit the Netherworld
Having this Christian faith also makes for a better way to live your life. It also explains of how everything came to be and why God put things as they are and it gives all a purpose to life. Does going through heaven do are love ones allowed to come back to earth. One think that crossed mind did Jesus have a church where he had his teaching or did he just travel around preaching.

Also having a Christian faith makes peoples more motived to be better and have great connection to God. The Christian I have met are some of the better people in my life you can just tell from square one how different they are compare to
What is Christianity and why has it been able to develop into a continuously growing and evolving religion?
On the other hand, Christians believe that after you die you go into a period of dormancy and until the second coming of Jesus will you be woken up and decide your fate whether you go to heaven or hell according to how you have lived your life. Christianity teaches salvation from sin through Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Through Him, the gift of eternal life is also attained. Christianity started as a missionary religion and has now become the world's most widespread faith. It focuses on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
What is Christianity? Christianity started in the mid- 1st century. The religion is based on Jesus Christ. Jesus was in many stories of the Bible. One of them is that Jesus was the Son of God and was placed by God, onto this earth as a man. He was sent by God to die for our sins, so we can be free, forgiven, and have eternal life. Once Jesus died for our sins He was resurrected three days later, and then ascended to heaven ("Christianity"). "He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification" (New International Version, Romans 4:25). There are tons of people around the world that ask: What happens when we die? According to Christianity, si...
As far as mankind’s history can date, religion has had quite an intimate relationship with people. Although maybe it hasn’t always been identified in the same way as we identify religion today, spread across the world we have the remains of pyramids, temples, and even written in ancient texts from centuries ago dedicated to god, to the afterlife, to what lies on the other side. And up to today’s times, religion has grown along with man.
Christians want to achieve salvation and spend everlasting life with God in Heaven. They do this because it is their ultimate goal but also because they are afraid of the consequences of not following God's will. Christians believe that if they do not achieve salvation, they will spend all of eternity burning in the Lake of Fire in hell. As described in the Bible, it is a punishment no one would ever want to suffer.
We are all equal, the same you could say, from birth till death. Sadly some used to and some still do not think so, they believe that because of physical differences they are superior to others because of those differences.
Salvation or "being saved" means redemption from the power of sin. In practical terms, God 's salvation is what we need to get to heaven or attain eternal life. (Leitch, 2010) Salvation is a major theme in the many parts of the Bible and the Qur’an. It was written in to the stories so that followers of the religion would adhere to the rules and regulations set by God and achieve the common goal: eternal life in heaven. Salvation in religion will be explored through a brief overview of Salvation and what it means in the general sense, Salvation in the texts in the Bible, the teaching of salvation in Christianity and Islam and how this differs.

The shepherd and sheep relationship is the best illustration for the relationship between pastor and parishioners. When Jesus asked Simon Peter does he love him three times and said to him “Feed my sheep”, the shepherd and flock relationship has been set. Since Jesus is our good shepherd (Jn. 10:11a), he laid out a good example for us to follow - to lay down his life for the sheep. (Jn. 10:11b) Thus, the wellness of both in and out of the parishioners should always be the concern in the pastors’ hearts. Soul care for the people is essential. Christian friendship is the foundation of Christian soul care. Pastoral ministry including preaching, teaching, and worship forms the broad context of pastoral counseling. Pastoral care is within pastoral ministry but broader than pastoral counseling. God’s love is the source and motivation. Within the pastoral care, there are spiritual direction and pastoral
Jesus Christ was the light that came to earth to brighten the lives of the people. He taught phenomenal and meaningful lessons that changed many hearts and caused people to accept Jesus as their Lord. Jesus Christ is the life of Christianity; the Word of God in flesh.

He had so much love for human kind that he came to earth to die for the sins of the people, so that their souls would be able to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The Bible testifies that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who taught memorable life lessons and performed astonishing miracles during his ministry.
