I think, speaking of this world, God 'enrirches' our lives by giving
1) a hope for better things to come. I could never be an atheist because I NEED something to believe. I think many feel the same way; we're wired to believe in something.
2) a world view. A world view is how you perceive the things you see. The Christian world view is that we should try to follow God's commands as best we can, but because we cannot ever perfectly obey, he sent his son to die for our debt. Therefore we should this our lives in light of this sacrifice.
3) a reason to live. We Christians live so that we may once again be close to Christ and be with him in Heaven. That's why we live.
These are just a few examples of how just living with God as our Lord enriches our lives. The opposite, I believe, is true for 'unbelievers.' I don't think they are totally worthless, of course not. But I don't understand why they continue to live. It would seem pointless to me. God Bless.

I bask in the fruits of the spirit of God, Love, Joy, Peace, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness and Temperance. If I did not have that I would be even more wretched . Because of that I have hope for this life and assurance of an eternal life with God..

Oh, God enriches my life in so many ways. If I did not believe in Him, I think I would be full of stress and might be getting mad at people.
God's grace and mercy help me all the time.
Hallelujah for that!
In Christ, Melodie

He enriches my life by being there for me all the time. He has given me a strong faith in him. He is my all in all.

There is NO GOD that has ever done a single act in all of human history! Not one good deed in 4.6 BILLION YEARS! How long will it take for us to realize THERE IS NO GOD!
If you take away the God belief from the world we could honestly see world peace! It's the Monotheists that are killing people all over in the name of their God! Take away there God and there will no longer be a reason for all this suffering and death!

I totally agree with 'Melodie'. I would be so different if I didn't have Christ in my life. I wouldn't be able to give as much compassion to people as I normally do. I wouldn't be able to love as many people as I do. And, if I didn't have Christ in my heart, I would be covered in sin and darkness- not to mention far away from God.

My belief in god lets me know who to love ( other Christians ) and who to hate. It teaches me the difference between bad wars against Christian Countries and Holy wars against non-christian countries.
