Comments on: A Few Questions http://www.hostilelegacy.com/a-few-questions/ For the edification of anyone who cares enough to call himself a Christian, for anyone who claims to walk in the commandments of Christ Jesus, for anyone who wants to follow God with all his heart, with all his soul, and with all his mind.

I really don't know... What are we supposed to do with our lives? That's a good question. The chatechism answer is to glorify Godand enjoy Him forever... For me, well, I don't know how to do that, so all I can say is whatever God tells me to do... what's the point of life? The point of life... to learn, to grow, to be a tool...whatever God wants to use me for. what does it mean to be a Christian? Meaning acting as a Christian ought? God is love, and greater love has no man than this, to lay down his life for his friends...so serving others in every part of life? is that the same as what makes you a Christian? Hmm. No, I don't think so. I *am* a Christian because God chose me and instilled His Spirit within me... on a scale of 1-10 how confident are you that you would go to heaven if you died right now? 10. how often do you read your bible? It varies... what does God mean to you? Everything. I can't get more specific than that really and still cover it.... what does God want you to do with your life? I have no idea :) would you say you're living your life the way God wants you to at this point? No....I've still got alot of growth to do. I mean, God is patient, and I know God doesn't have unrealistic expectations, but... God is perfect and perfection is far away from where i am. do you think God wants you to do what you want to do? No. God wants me to be happy, but that joy should come (and can come) from doing what God wants. Even though it's frequently not what I want. is what you want to do what God wants you to do? Does my soul long for God's plan, yes. Do I frequently ask for and strive for things that God doesn't want, oh yes. I don't quite understand that question.... Hmm. interesting. Some of those I hadn't quite thought about yet... thanks :) what is Christianity?

The point of life… to learn, to grow, to be a tool…whatever God wants to use me for.

is that the same as what makes you a Christian?
Hmm. No, I don’t think so. I *am* a Christian because God chose me and instilled His Spirit within me…

For me personally, it seems like many of these questions don't have verbal answers. What is Christianity? I can't put it into to words. It's more than a religion, it's more than just what I do... what I am... It's not just a way of life, it is life. It's not just hope, it is The hope. It's not just a purpose, it is The purpose. You can make many pretty statements describing it, such as, it's a light in the darkness, it's a shield for the weak, it's a path for the hopeless, but even those vague answers, only begin to scratch the surface of everything it is. It is something that you can only explain to those who have it, and even then it is with few words, and many nods of acknowledgment, and sighs of remembrance. How does one describe color to the blind? But even this isn't quite vague enough. Imagine this, imagine describing sound to the deaf. What is Christianity to me you ask? It's everything, it's the only thing. What you're imaging right now, as what you think I am talking about it's... that... and a million times more.
