Christianity Faithfully Endured

Reading through the church history books and learning from church history discussions, one thing that I am sure of, there is a God. There is a God who made all things, create all things and planned things to happen. Even before the creation of the world, there is God I believe. Even if we don't view it spiritually or biblical, we can prove it historically. Why do I say so? Even beforehand, religious issue and/or Christianity issue was there. I've just realized that it never come to an end. Though many religious groups came up but it is in the Bible that many will claim that what they believe is true and that they are the true church.

We need not to dwell in the change but with the bigger picture which is the endurance spirit. This proved that Christianity is true because it never died. Hence, this proves that there is God and we didn't just came from a tiny atom and then bang! We were created. No. It is not that. We are created fearfully and wonderfully by God (Psalms 139:14). Each person is unique. Our every details can be seen as a miracle and it declares the wonders of God's creation; the systems in our body and the way it functions. Just mentioning those, made me in awe of God causing me to praise His name and humbly ask myself who am I that He, the creator of the universe is mindful of me.

Shame on us who do not believe that there is God. That Christianity isn't true. No matter what the pope did, to unite the church and state just to gain the power and authority. I've just realized that even until now, the politicians, the priest, popes and I bet there are other Christian leaders as well who are after power, compromising what the Scripture says in order to be followed and not persecuted. I salute those people who suffer for Christ. Who sacrificially denied themselves just to do the will of God and embrace the pain that the world is injecting. That in spite of the persecution, they faithfully endured.

It made me question myself if I can endure for the sake of Christ. Of course my answer would be yes BUT this is just easy to say and write on because severe persecution has not come my way yet. Yet I believe that the Lord is able and He won't allow me to suffer beyond what I cannot bear. If it takes my life for His name's sake then I commit to Him my life. Well, He is the owner of this life and I was born and created for HIM ALONE. Not for anyone or anything else.

To God be all the glory.
