Everyone! In what way has your life changed since you've found your faith in your religion, or God?

Question

Please do not lash out at others for their beliefs. Everyone has choices in this life.

Answer 1

Since I have accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, I don't have the same desire to engage in activities the bible would consider unholy---fornication, alcohol abuse, profanity. I have a desire to live my life in a manner that is pleasing to God. I never hit a day when I am perfect, but my desire to continue is rooted in God's perfect forgiveness. My life is sometimes more challenging because I have chosen to live for God. Seems like when I made that decision, the devil began attacking me even more diligently. I don't care, God's love is complete and I fear no man.

Answer 2

I’ve found so much peace, even when things are completely insane all around me. I love how I feel the presence of God’s Spirit particularly when I’m taking a walk or working in the garden. Every day there seems to be a new learning experience and new discoveries.

I truly feel a newness about my life. It’s like a potted plant that has dried out and the leaves are wilted. Then you pour on water until the pot is overflowing and the leaves become full and green again. That’s how I feel.

I was looking at a photo taken a couple of years ago and comparing it with something recent. You can actually see the change in my face.

Answer 3

After I became a Christian, it sparked a deep intellectual curiousity in me that I had not known. So I have been reading voraciously ever since. Before, I never read, even for school. I also felt somewhat child-like. There was a sense that God was watching over me and I would never be out of his sight. I have let the emotional side of my faith dwindle, to a certain extent. But I am always curious to know more about the world because it says more about him.

Answer 4

Atheism and anti theism picked up after 9/11. As a Christian, I even have continuously been a touch panicked relating to the antagonism that exists between denominations interior Christianity, and in the direction of different theory structures. on a similar time as i don't take a literal attitude to the scriptures, I do take a trouble-free attitude to God. once I discovered Yahoo Q and A , this section became my first journey with the hot anti theists. My suitable pal became atheist and between the suitable human beings on earth. We merely pal yet another. while he went in for quadruple by making use of bypass , I mentioned why not pretend you have self assurance so i could be comforted interior the form of your dying? He merely laughed and mentioned he could not do the final ditch innovations swap , even for me. I enjoyed his integrity. My relatives is blended . there became no mandatory church attendance and a lot open communicate approximately each and every little thing. We have been raised form of Christians.I by no skill knew stressful Christians until my aunt had a conversion and proceeded to harass us all unmercifully approximately smoking, reducing our hair and wearing slacks. If this became God, why in the international could he care approximately hair cuts and if I wore denims? I grew to alter right into a Christian in my mid 1920s. i don't attend a church yet God is of super value to me. I study the Bible yet became instructed to miss relating to the previous testomony because of the fact it became whacked. do not shoot the messenger. that is what i became instructed. I married a guy from an Amish Mennonite backiground. He grew to alter right into a practising witch. there's a lot to be found out from one yet another. we can't merely close our ears and say that is all undesirable or that is all solid. Atheism is bringing an integrity to the church that has been lacking . we can't make excuses for our habit and pretend we've each and all of the solutions. we don't. I snicker on the questions and bear in mind thinking a similar way or having a similar questions. we ought to check to love one yet another for our ameliorations . it quite is clean to hearken to from life like atheist.

Answer 5

When I was a Christian, I was very conflicted. So many contradictions, so many things that just were scientifically plausible (not meaning God), so many thing contradicting other historical sources. I felt lost. It wasn't until I started studying ancient and modern religions and the bible that my beliefs changed and for the first time in my life I felt whole and that I had a purpose.

Answer 6

God was always in me when I was younger, but worldly objects had gotten into my head as I got older and resulted in little separation from God. Recently, an life-changing event occurred in my life and that really struck me. I was filled fear and was having thoughts of committing suicide. That was until I turned to God. For the first few days, tears came dripping down my eyes everytime God was mentioned or I saw his picture. I began to study my religion deeply and fill myself with spiritual knowledge. Suddenly, things started feeling better and this fear seemed to be in my control thanks to God's grace. However, I'm human and I tend to look at things in realistic view and I still fear of this fear possibly occurring. And if that so is the case, my life will be changed forever. I still fear of the unknown, but with God's grace and boundless altruism, I will presevere and anticipate for my emanicipation from this controlling fear.

Answer 7

My whole outlook on life has changed. I'm a lot more positive now. I believe that no matter problems I face, God will guide me and everything will be ok.

Answer 8

Since I began to have faith in God I have felt more whole. At times I have felt more at peace and more joyful then ever before.
I still have hard times and suffer, but I know God is with me and He has faithfully brought me through a lot.
I have discovered a joy and love I never knew before.

Answer 9

Well if you count becoming an atheist and dropping religion, my life has gotten much better. I can think for myself and see things more clearly than when i wasted my time believing in a magical dillusion known as god.

Answer 10

It has given me a clarity on life. How to handle hard times (w/ faith), how to rejoice in the good times. Know that as I seek my Father, he will guide my path. It was He who put me here to fulfil His purpose and once that's done - I'm outta here.
