Western World

The link between the present western world and Christianity is almost null! Yes! Sounds weird right? We say majority of the populations are Christians but they are just name bearers. A true Christian can be simply identified from their actions.

Well everyone can love those who love them back. But it requires the grace of God to love someone who hurts and demeans you. Jesus said to love your enemies. So a Christian who practices such is a TRUE CHRISTIAN.

2. Practicing Kindness

2. Practicing Kindness

How kind a person can be ? The answer is infinite just like Jesus was and is infinitely kind to human race. He knew those whom he healed of their blindness, deafness,diseases, paralysis etc were going to crucify Him. Yet He never sent away anyone who came to Him asking for healness.

3. Being Humble

3. Being Humble

While the world says if you want to conquer the world, you have to be the most powerful and master of all. Jesus said just one thing, "If you want to become the greatest of all, you must serve others." A true Christian serves other in humility and doesn't wish to become the master of all because God is the only MASTER.

4. Forgiving

Not all can forgive anything wrong that happens to them. People made strong by God can only forgive. Jesus said to forgive seventy seven times which indirectly means infinite times. A True Christian never remains angry or seeks revenge from others but forgives like Christ who on the cross said,"Father forgive them for they do not know what they do."

6. Bearer Of Sufferings

We are so much used to the term "divorce". We see parents are often divorced in the western part. The western world has just one solution to every problem : NEVER ENDURE. How many families are torn apart because the parents are unable to bear each other in love? Well, a true Christian never gives up on their marriage because they are aware that Christ is the head of the family and surely everything can change through prayer. An abusing husband or wife can change miraculously by prayer ,but it requires patience to bear the initial sufferings.

12. Practicing Morality

Today the world doesn't believe anymore in being moral. It believes that you should not stop yourself from anything that gives you joy and pleasure. Practicing sex outside marriage is never a Christian value. God has always forbidden fornication and adultery. A True Christian waits until marriage and practices holiness of marriage.

<p>Westernization and Christia...

Westernization and Christianity are totally different terms. While Westernization focuses on way of lives to be lived, Christianity focuses on meaning of life.

Today the western culture has almost no connection to Christianity. Although there are few people who are faithful Christians but most are just name bearers. They break and modify the religion in the way they want it to be.
