10 Reasons Why Believing In A Christian God Is Good For You

1. WITHOUT WORRIES It is good to know that we can surrender all our worries and anxieties to God. 1 Peter 5 6-7 says, “Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you in due time. cast all your anxiety us him because he worries for you.” It’s a great relief to know that God is always there to take care of business, so we don’t have to worry.
2. SEE UNDER THE SKIN If we believe in God, we don’t have to worry about how we look. We do not have to worry about our outward appearance because as 1 Samuel 16.7 tells us: “… the Lord does not see what man sees: man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” If we see others as God sees them, in other words, by what is in their hearts, we become better and happier people.
3. NO NEED TO COMMENT Social networks offer many opportunities for slander and criticism. James gives good advice on this (4:11-12): “Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against a brother or sister or against them speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you do not keep it, but you judge it. There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who can save and destroy. But you, who are you to judge your neighbor? In other words, we are not in a position to criticize.
4. HAVE FAITH When we believe in God, we have faith, and faith brings salvation; see Ephesians 2:8-9: ^“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. not by works, so that no one can boast.” What does this really mean? It means that trusting God is a gift, so we don’t have to work for it. And faith is its own reward, freeing us from all vain desires and efforts and solving what really matters, the elimination of bad thoughts.
5. STAY HEALTHY WITHOUT DIETING When we believe in God we don’t have to worry about what we eat. Exodus 23.25 says: “Worship the Lord your God, and his blessing will be on your food and your water.”
6. BE STRONG WHEN YOUR HEART IS BROKEN Read Psalm 147.3 which says: “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Trying to get over the loss of a loved one due to grief or separation is one of the hardest tests we have to endure. The journey is so much easier when God is with us.
7. YOU CAN STAY IN GOOD PHYSICAL SHAPE ALWAYS Exodus 15.26 “Because I am the God who heals you.” As Christians, we hope for good health through prayer and meditation. The only way to see if it works is to try it.
8. YOU NEVER HAVE TO ASK “WHY AM I HERE?” Meaningless existential questions disappear when we believe in God. His purpose for our life becomes manifest and fruitful. Psalm 57:2 says: “I cry out to the Most High God, to the God who fulfills his purpose in me.” The deal is this: if we make all our decisions with God in mind, He will accomplish His purpose through us. No more anguish for days without meaning since every day and everything we do has meaning in the eyes of God.
9. YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT DYING Ecclesiastes 12.7 says about death “Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it.” This is such a comforting thought, to know that we are eternal spirits, that our appointed time on earth is temporary and our future will be spent in eternal glory.
10. YOU DON’T HAVE TO WASTE TIME WONDERING WHERE THE UNIVERSE CAME FROM “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1) This is all we need to know about the origins of our environment. And of course, God made us too. What’s not to like?
