What Is The Problem With Christianity?

 "'What's wrong with the world?' I am, yours truly.  G. K. Chesterton." 

The biggest objections to Christianity are that it seems to be "pie in the sky," that the morals are too high, and that it is undermined by science.  I don't talk about a life that only Christ lived and we can only hope to live and that everyone is a hypocrite who claims to live the Christian life. Well, this is true the Christian life is not hard it is not difficult, it is impossible and we have these ideals that we all fall short of. How to strive for perfection but we will never achieve it we just drive our holiness but we will never achieve it whereas strive for good work but we will never do enough alright let's realize that the Christian life is all about grace but God has done for us not what we can do for God. 

To answer the question of the title of this post the problem with Christianity is Christians don't live up to their ideals or the standards of the Christian life you know they are impossible for anyone. They compare us to Christ. Christian history is littered with bad deeds and evil and as a dark history and a dark side, we must explain to people that as a church has grown and learned more truth as time has passed the problem with Christians is not Christ it is Christians we do not actually believe in we do not turn our creeds into deeds.  It is said that Gandhi said he would have become a Christian but he never met one.  

We should not misplace our hope and think that we can satisfy ourselves with things of this world and hope and love the things of the world rather than the things of God let's realize that Jesus himself is our hope and have constant expectancy that he will come again to save us from our hopeless world. This world is doomed, yes, it is and we must realize that Christ will come and bring about a new world. This world is not headed towards utopia but dystopia.   God alone will save it too many people Christians even think that they can bring about or usher in the Second Coming of Christ or the Second Advent or the Millennial Kingdom for that matter this is all wrong in bogus because only Christ can do that and we must live and keep our own business and do our business until Christ comes I just hope that he will bring about his will and his own good timing and timetable in the fullness of time he will come

Christianity is not pie in the sky it is very realistic though it inspires idealism, and God rewards his believers for good deeds that they do with future rewards and future responsibility in heaven because they have proved themselves faithful servants. We're not to strive for success necessarily but faithfulness and obedience, which will be rewarded by God's response for success, not us. So we are not called to success but we are called to serve the Lord faithfully and let him bless us as he sees fit the world has had much misplaced hope we've had many people who claim to be the ones who can fix it all actually false messiahs and Antichrist and figures in history with conquered much territory but none of the hearts of people. 

Jesus has a kingdom bigger than anyone else ever has achieved but he has not done it by the sword but by the act and power of love itself he is the Emperor of love in other words. the kingdom of God is within you as Jesus said with realize that is a kingdom of hearts and a kingdom of love was caught as love conquers all. Is our hope because he becomes real to us and lives within our hearts making us realize that we can bring others to Christ no matter who we are and what we do.

You probably have your own sins not just certain sins or our pet sins but sin itself or sin nature we have a tendency to sin and we cannot do good except with God's grace. We are not inherently good but inherently evil in God's eyes we all fall short we all are totally depraved in that all of our hearts souls minds and bodies are affected by sin even our willpower is affected by sin we have free will but we choose evil so our free will is a curse. We can only choose Christ by the power and God and the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ opens our hearts to kindle faith within us.

Even many Christians have so-called misplaced hope. Was built upon Christ only as it says we are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. We must not put our faith in the church or in our leaders in our Bible in our family in any institution at all or in any great revelation that we personally have but our faith must be in the person and work of Jesus Christ itself that is the only sure anchor and hope or so. There's only one Savior the church does not save and we cannot save ourselves no matter what we come up with any ideas or revelations we cannot invent ourselves or reinvent ourselves to become saved or worthy of salvation.

We must come as we are and let God change us to be the kind of person he wants us to become and not stay the way we were!   No matter how many great works, we achieve what we accomplish in life does not make us worthy of the kingdom of heaven what is faith in Christ which is nonmeritorious and the gift of God. So that no one build a boast in God's presence I was on wisdom or works. God's not looking for our achievements anyway he's looking for our obedience to the gospel that is. Soli Deo Gloria!
