The Christian way to bonding

Christian principleChristianity has many aspects. One of the most vital aspects that Christianity stresses on is marriage. Marriage is one of the most significant decisions of life. Besides adding value to the society, it brings colors in your personal life. It drives away the loneliness that no person can live with. Marriage establishes a strong bond between two people. And it generates a lifelong partnership. Although exceptions are there, yet a marriage is supposed to be the best form of perfect communion. Christian faith stresses on the necessity of marriage. Christian views describe marriage to be an institution that is propounded by the god and it is our holy father who controls the knot. Marriage was indeed made in the heavens.  Any physical relation outside marriage is sin.

The bible, which is the most important foundation of Christianity, says that marriage is premeditated by God to enable companionship and closeness, to push away isolation. The Bible thoroughly highlights the story in which woman has been built out of man, rather from the ones and flesh of man so that later in life, she can be someone, with who man will unite and become “one flesh”. The Old Testament and the New Testament gives weight to marriage. The many number of marriages that are shown in these books of Christian principle are a vivid proof of that fact. Adam and Eve are said to be the first man and wife, who became the symbol of conjugality. Then there has been Abraham and Sara, Boaz and Ruth, Jacob and Rachel, Isaac and Rebecca and many more.

Even Jesus supported the institution of marriage. By this he actually made people understand what exactly constitutes the kingdom of heaven on earth. The catholic believes that marriage is a way created by God self to show his love and care for his creations. The Christian view of marriage specifies that the process has multiple purposes. Besides companionship, it enables procreation and building up of a society that is moral and ethical. However, the eastern Christians hold a totally different view. For them, marriage is a kind of holy sacrament and a connection between the church and God. The Holy Spirit is the most essential in the process of communion.

The Christian marriage vows bring to our notice, how much interrelated are marriage and Christianity. The ceremony of marriage starts with a prayer to God, our Holy Father.  However the Christian principles strictly deny adultery. The views in the Bible say adultery is equal to the greatest sin and it leads you to a life of sorrow and misery. Even though in the modern age, no part of the principles are followed but you should always remember that, however much you try to deny, every action has its equal and opposite reaction. If there is paradise, hell can never be far. So the best way to a happy life is to follow the principles of marriage that Christianity promotes.

Happiness amidst the bowers of Christianity

Christian religionChristianity has grown in leaps and bound gradually over the years. More and more people are embracing the Christian faith in the recent times. It may due to the fact that people are finding respite and some sort of solace in the wings of faith. In the recent time, which is in this modern age, people are running against time. It is a life of ultimate race and speed. There are no values. Only materialistic aspects are the top most priority in our mind. We have almost become a machine. The basic requirements to our survival have become very gross. A good amount of cash is all we need to exist. But when we get a second’s break from this rat race, do we not question our self what gains are we ultimately hoping for. The huge amount of dollars that we desire to pile up every day, are they the only things that can give happiness. Our faith or rather the Christian religion says no, it cannot buy us happiness.  Material pleasure can never provide consolation to the mind.

Ultimate happiness will be gained if you can make your mind happy. Do not think that you are being advised to go to church on a daily basis or turn into an ascetic. But the point is to train your mind in such a way that it remains serene, whatever be the situation. Christianity highlights on the value of prayer. Prayer to God shortens the distance between Him and us. That does never mean that you have to attend all the religious occasions or Christian rituals in your church and parish. Prayer is something that is required to be very personal. It will calm your body and soul. You will be able to pour out all your worries and anxieties to Lord, our father.  A true Christian has full faith and confidence in the power of God. He will never question the sanctity of his existence. If you can share all your emotions with Him every day, we guarantee you that you will gain comforts. The lap of God is always soothing for His children. You just need to build up your beliefs in the principles of Christianity.

You may wonder why you need to pray. You may feel that the church visit on Sunday is enough to drive away all the sense of trouble and guilt, if there are any. But believe me, it is not the case always. Often times, it has been noticed that you are not able to open up your mind and heart in such public gathering. The best alternative that Christianity recommends is therefore appeal to God. The Christian book of faith also suggests that God has commanded all his children to pray. The Colossians 4:2 says, “Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving”. Thus follow the dictums that Bible suggest and live a liberated existence.
