To me being a true Christian would mean to follow Jesus Christ.
But the big question is, how many of us can really do this or are really doing this. (?)
To me Christianity is not simple but complex.
Most people probably don't even understand the words and/or the teachings of Jesus.
I wonder if it would be ok to just make it easier and simpler; Christianity or "following Jesus" that is.
OK here goes Lesson 1
Jesus wants you to be nice to people, therefore be nice and friendly to people. However, Jesus would have you also be caring and loving to that person or those people.
My son and I know someone who always acts nice and pleasant to people. But this same person seems (to us anyway) to be only nice on the outside; we've found him, a public service personel, to not be that nice on the inside. His actions have shown, or proven, that he doesn't care that much about a person and/or people.
So if you act nice to people but you really have no caring in your heart for them like even to do them the smallest of a favor, or service, then you are only being artificially nice.
Ok so my lesson 1 "Living Christianity Made Easy" would be to:
"Be nice to a person (or people) you encounter, however, also care about that person".
Care about what is happening in that person's life. Caring is a way to show love.
From what I understand about Jesus; I think he most probably would have you be this way.
See the Bible, King James Version, Chapter 5
verses:
I got the above verses at link: http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/1611_Matthew-Chapter-5/
I think my lesson 1 makes pretty good sense.
And I hope the Lord Jesus Christ would not mind.
What do you think about my lesson?
