Christianity;

is not a label.
It's a chance at living a life.

is not an excuse for sin.
It's the opportunity to be forgiven, and receive a second chance.

is not being perfect.
It's being who God made you to be; yourself - and being proud of it.

is not for 'good people.'
It's for everyone, everywhere, no matter who you are.

is not just going to church.
It's being the church, and spreading the word of God wherever you go.

...........................................................................
Christianity;
is surrendering your life to God.

is knowing that there is a living God, who is with you at every moment, in every place, even in the darkest of times.

is loving, and being loved.

is praying, even for the little things.

is listening, even when you don't hear anything, or when you think you've got it figured out.

is understanding, and learning when you do not understand.

is forgiving, even when someone does something unforgivable in your eyes; nothing is unforgivable in the eyes of the Lord.

...........................................................................
Christianity;
is my life.
is my opportunity to be forgiven.
is me being the person God created me to be, and being proud of it.
is for me, even though I am not a 'good person.'
is my choice; to bring others to God.
is living my life surrendered.
is knowing that God is with me, and that He is always there.
is how I love.
is praying about everything, even if it seems insignificant.
is listening to other people around me and listening to God.
is understanding everything around me, and learning and seeking guidance when I do not understand.
...........................................................................
Christianity;
is Jesus Christ, who died on the cross to forgive us of our sins, so that we may go to heaven.
