Introduction
The world today is full of different types of faiths. Christianity happens to be one of them. Others include Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Judaism. Debating on which of these is better than the other is a continuing issue with each side determined to win. I have however taken a step and chosen my side. I find the Christian faith the most appealing to me. In this essay, I will give reasons as to why I find the Christian environment to be the most appealing to me
Main body
To begin with, the Bible, which is the most important book in Christianity advocates for the oneness of humanity. This book advises us to preach the good news of Jesus Christ to all mankind. In the process, we are supposed to speak out against evil and make use of wisdom in doing Christian work. The ultimate focus is to bring everyone to Christ Jesus, the Son of God. The state in which people are supposed to be brought to Christ is blameless. This means that they are perfect or without defects. Being in an atmosphere that embodies this kind of philosophy will make my life not only comfortable but fulfilling.
The advocacy for the unity or family of man is a source of peace in the world. History is full of sad happenings that occurred simply because greed made mankind look for differences in others and use them to deny them their rights. This would have been different if the concept of Christianity of oneness in Christ would have been heeded. What would have this concept done? The origin of man is God through creation. In diverse forms and shapes, God made human beings. This serves as evidence that He is mighty. When a man or woman can do more than one thing, he or she is respected. The same applies to God. He was able to create humanity in diverse colors and shapes as a testimony to His powers. The fact that Christianity emphasizes this makes it appealing to me. It is on this basis that I would love to be in an atmosphere that embraces diversity in all manners with utmost dedication to the service of God.
Besides the above, the Christian environment is characterized by love and accommodation. The decision to become a true believer in the faith is never imposed on anyone. Instead, those that are out to convert others to Christianity use peaceful means such as giving out Christian literature and establishing churches where those who are willing can fellowship. The element of judgment is not acceptable as it goes against Christian principles. It feels wonderful to be in an environment where no one is judging you. This inspires me to be a devoted Christian who attends church regularly. It is important to point out that those who are judgmental and claim to be Christian are not true followers of the Christian faith. True Christianity advises believers not to judge others. This is followed by a promise of not being judged during the end times when the world will be summoned to account for all happenings before God, the Creator of Heaven and earth. Being in a school surrounding whose education is based on the timeless values of Christianity is the best opportunity anyone can get. With community service, respect for God, and value-themed scholarship, a rich life is assured. This is an atmosphere I cannot let go of. Is the Christian environment all that good without any problem?
As good as the Christian environment sounds, it has its shortcomings. Like all other faiths, it has many followers who do not fully follow the doctrines laid down by the Bible. These people end up giving the faith a bad name. Good examples of these people are the slave owners in the former British colonies in Asia and Africa, ancient Rome, and Egypt. The slave owners carried the Bible in one hand symbolizing Christianity while the other handheld the whip that was targeted on the back of a slave. There are some people in current society too who pretend to be Christians while they hate others, steal from others, lie to others and kill others. Some engage in unnatural actions such as homosexuality that are prohibited by the Bible. There are also historical details associated with Christianity that are difficult to ascertain. This makes the faith somehow confusing.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Christian environment is appealing to me because of its advocacy for brotherhood and love among humanity. There is no judgment from fellow true believers the pressure to comply is not part of the faith. The emphasis on community service, respect and love for God and man, and value-themed scholarship is at the top of the element list for a Christian environment. These are wonderful values that will enrich my life.
