What Christianity Is by Dollarseeker: 6:41pm On Apr 19, 2020
If Christianity was all about bodily healings, there won't have been any need for hospitals and no Christian would have died of any virus.
If Christianity was all about prosperity and material wealth, there won't have been poor Christians and the richest country would have been a Christian country.
If Christianity was about telling people exactly what will happen tomorrow, we won't have been taken unaware in many things of our lives, we Christians would have known long before now that this year's Easter will find us locked in our houses.

Rather, Christianity is simply about salvation.
Christ never promised us that being his followers means being immune from suffering, sickness or death. Or else, it would be contradictory that he even had to die at age 33 under the worst forms of pain. He never said we will automatically be rich, for at one point he had to even borrow a donkey to travel to Jerusalem, borrowed a boat to preach, borrowed a tomb to be buried in.

Instead, he promised us that we will have eternal life. This is one thing he is certain of. And this is the one thing that brought him to our world: Salvation.
We Christians fear death, but if it is true that all must die and then rise to meet the Father, then your prayers won't stop death when the time comes. We should rather intensify in doing good and stand ready to meet the Lord any time.

We fear Antichrist, but if it has been written that the Antichrist will come, your prayers will not stop him from coming. You should rather intensify in showing love and stand ready to meet Christ when the time comes. Our brand of Christianity today tends to focus more on what Christianity is NOT than what it IS.

Dear friends, focus on salvation and the love of Christ. When you are certain of this, you will say like Paul in Romans 8, 35 "What shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or unclothedness, or peril, or sword?
37 "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 "Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Did you take note of verse 38? Did you see references to Virus, 5G, Antichrist, death?
Please friends focus on salvation. The Good news is that Christ has already given it to you. All you need do is to believe.

Oh, now when everybody are talking about corovirus and self isolation it is very common question, for what did God do this? Nobody has the answer, but I read that challenge for our generation. Last several centuries we did a lot mistakes and it is our punishment. Just remind about wars, natural pollution and how many animals are killed every day. Hope that know you understand why God punish us. If you have some more questions I can leave you link to Online Christian Counseling. Here you can get all get answers. God bless you!
