Christian Faith explanation


FOR YOU ARE TYRED, BORED AND ANGRY.
FOR YOU HAVE SUDDENLY BEEN THROWN IN THIS WORLD AND YOU CAN´T FIND ANY MEANING.
FOR A VOICE IS TELLING YOU THAT YOU ARE MISSING THE MOST ESSENTIAL POINT.
FOR IT IS ALSO TELLING YOU THAT LIFE CAN NOT BE SO CRUEL, THAT THERE MUST BE A MEANING.
FOR SEX IS OVER, CAN NOT FILL YOU, AND YOU DESIRE IT AGAIN.
FOR THE MORE FREE YOU THINK YOU ARE, THE MORE SLAVE YOU FEEL YOURSELF.
FOR WHEN YOU ARE UP YOU DESCEND THE SAME THAT YOU WENT UP.
FOR YOU ARE GOING TO DIE.
FOR YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE AND EVERYTHING TO GAIN.


LETS ASK FOR HELP TO JESUS, BECAUSE HE IS THE MEANING OF LIFE.


I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. John 8:12
I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32



1- Our current condition and the evil in the world and in our hearts.


It is logical to think that it has no sense that imperfection, evil and suffering in the world exists. Wouldn't be more logical that everything was perfect? Currently we are living in a fallen world. The cause is original sin. In the Bible it is symbolized by Adam and Eve disobedience by eating of knowledge of good and evil tree fruit. It is not well known in what did consist or what does this Genesis passage symbolize but the consequence is the current state of divorce between God and humanity.

some of the consequences of this condition of man separated from God are:

- Unhappiness: We are made to be united with God and is only in Him where we can find rest and we will not really rest until we become One with Him again. We have an infinite thirst that we try to satiate by many ways (womans, wine, food, vices, morality, trying to be what we are not...) but the onlt way to satiate it is God.

- Unknowledge of ourselves: God is the spring of our being. As we are separated from God we are separated from ourselves. we are a shadow of whom we really are, of our very true "Self" that God created. We are spiritually dead. This is in wich sin consists; when a man sins, he departs from God the fountain of his self, he departs from his true Self, he spiritually dies, he demonizes himself.

- Egotism in our hearts: Our self will contrary to God´s will that separates us from God of wich only God can deliver us. The serpent´s image of wich only Christ can deliver us when He is born in our hearts and smashes the serpent´s head in our hearts. It is then when we find the knowledge of our true Name, the one that God has given us that proceeds from God; that is, when we find the knowledge of ourselves, of our true Self that God created. It is the when we recover the likeness and image of God at wich we were created.

- Death: from our state of being separated from God arises our condition here on earth. We are suddenly thrown to this world and the  scythe of death is awaiting for everyone of us. We don´t know why nor with wich porpuse we are here. This state produces in us a very deep vertigo that is within all of us. This is usually called "existential anguish". Some are more aware of this anguish and some less because some look at it and other evade looking at it but it is whithin all of us. When man finds and knows God, this vertigo abyss unravells as the darkness dissipates before the light. Then he finds that there is a sense for everything, that we are not a random product of chance or chaos, that everything has a reason of being, that there will be an answer for every bitter and sorrowfull moment in life (And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; Revelation 21:4) and that God is and we shall see His Everlasting Victory (in the Cross) over every evil.



2. God´s salvation. (For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. Mt 18:11):


God did not forsake us leaving us in this digraceful state, but He was born as a Men, in Jesus Christ, and came to seek us and save us and return us to the Gracefull state of union with Him giving us back everything that we had lost. God joined our humanity in order that man can Join God again. This Holy state of union of God and Men is paradise. If we look at the cross + the vertical stick signs Christs divinity, the horizontal stick signs Christs humanity and the holy centre signs the very reconciliation of God and Humanity in the ONE, in the point where the two sticks crosses in the Very Holy Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ. Humanity and Divinity reunited by Christ´s Humanity and Divinity as he begged His Father (his Divinity) when he said "that they may all be one" in John 17:21 John.

the way how He saves us is by sending his Holy Spirit to our hearts. His Holy Spirit is Jesus, Christ Himself that comes and live in our Hearts. This Holy Spirit (Acts 16:6), Christ Spirit (romanians 8:9), Jesus Spirit (Acts 16:7), Gods Spirit (romanians 8:9), one only Spirit (Efesians 4:4), is the one that reproduces the Holy image of Jesus in ourselfs by killing all egotism and letting us know God, Jesus, Christ in His divinity  and our true selfes. When we receive His Holy Spirit, the real Sun, Jesus Christ, in a same way as He was born in Bethlehem, is born and rises within our hearts; and from living in the night we come to live in the true everlasting Day illuminated by the true everlasting SUN, Jesus Christ.

But in order that God send us His Holy Spirit He had had to made Himself a man like us in Jesus and Die on the Cross. And this is why Jesus had not sinned (2corinthians 5:21) and was not a normal man like us. He was the first man, the root of the new covenant , the root of Jesse as Revelation says and the first born because as it is said in John "He was not of this world but we were from this world". and now we are not of this world because he, that never was of this world delivered us from this world (john 15:19). All Humanity was engulfed in sin , There was need that God came as Man and killed death and sin within our hearts and later, as a consecuence in all exterior world.

Jesus is the Paradigm , the new man, the first born, the first reborned that has opened the way for all of us. When he says that he is the way he is not only talking about his Holy presence within our hearts that guides us, he is also talking about his humanity that must be reproduced in us by His Holy Spirit. We Christians are also called to follow Him to the Cross and to Gods throne.

This versicles, among others, are related to This Holy Spirit:



John 4:13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
John 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.


John 7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

John 7:39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)



John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

John 16:14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
John 16:15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.


Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.




3- Conclusion:


It is possible that all this crasses with our racionality and we find hard to think that reality is like this, it is also probable that i have commited some mistakes in the explanation. However, i think that the most important thing is that we frankly talk with Christ asking for His help. He is there and He helps everyone that ask Him for His help. Tell Him whatever springs from your heart, that you want His help but it is hard for you to believe in Him and that you want Him to help you believing or that you want to know Him but it is hard for you to believe, or aks Him for His help and expose Him your worries or whatelse.

All of us have seek for happiness where we could not find it and all of us have commited errors or sinned. All of us have been carried along by our egotism and we have make people suffer, we have done evil deeds and we have behave in unworthy ways. We all need God's forgiveness. Lets ask Jesus to forgive all the evil that we have done and to help us changing our evil ways. He is not going to hold anything against us. He desires more that us that we go to Him in order to find his forgiveness and his Help, clean us and make us happy. (John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.)

It is vitally important to receive Christ. Before receiving Him we are death, when we receive Him we return to the true Life, with God, as Jesus said:


John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
John 5:25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.


John 11:25-26 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?



John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
