Description
"I'd rather be hated by the world for loving God than be loved by the world and shunning God."My sixteenth stamp, made by customizing a stamp template via Adobe Photoshop. (Image used in stamp found over the internet.)
(Created on 8-26-2011.)
It is not uncommon for others to desire acceptance. Many fear rejection. But what good will it be to gain acceptance by compromising your faith? Love should never be at the cost of your faith in God/Jesus.
God's love is eternal. He already knew you even before you were born. He loved you so much that He sent His Son Jesus to rescue you from eternity in hell in which we deserve for our sins. He did that for you. Future eternity in Heaven with God will be worth so much more than anything we can gain in the world today. So is it worth it to deny your faith before others?
"What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?" (Matthew 16:26)
It is guaranteed that not everyone will be accepting of believers. It's not easy to deal with, especially to experience having friends and loved ones even reject you. But if you were ever put in a situation in which the world is against you, who would you choose to side with? The world or God? Where does your allegiance lie? When it all comes down to a great big shaking in our comfort zone, where will we turn to?
Feel free to put this stamp on your page if you feel the same way.

Me too. People always say to me, "You'd be way popular if you weren't Christian. You'd have so many friends." I say, "Why give up the Best Friend ever?"

I have friends who think most Christians are jerk. And it's usually because they have a BIG misconception about Christianity. And more and more people rather not believe than even TRY to understand. It's sad

the reasons many people dislike Christianity is because of all the hatred and death it's caused this world for over two thousand years

You really are a close-minded Atheist aren't you? Christianity NEVER did those things, bigot.

I agree. I also think it's sad that so many Christians don't take their faith seriously...

I don't really believe in him. I'm Deist at most, but I believe in letting people have choices. People should have the freedom to believe in what they want and choose what they want as long as it doesn't hurt others.

Exactly. People should believe whatever makes the most sense to them, and sod all the rest.
