When people are in need of a savior they are

When people are in need of a savior they are accepting the fact that no matter how much you
pray, do good works, or do rituals salvation is not guaranteed. “Other religions offer possible
salvation (eternal life in Heaven) through trusting in one's own good works, while Christianity
offers certain salvation through trusting in Christ's good works” (Lecture 5,2015). Salvation is
through God’s grace only, it is not based on anything a person has done. Ephesians 2:8-9 says,
“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift
of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” Christians think that the

transformation of self and society happens by accepting Jesus as their savior. If a person seeks
a relationship with Jesus more, they will be more focused in God’s word.
Analysis
Christianity is centered on the gospels as a guidebook for life. It has guidelines for how
God would want us to treat man. Hope is the strength of Christian belief. Hope is offered from
the Christian worldview, that we can improve ourselves by focusing on God. We can live
better lives by changing our thoughts and actions. We have hope for eternal life with the Lord.
Faith also is the strength of Christian belief. We have faith to know that eternal life will
happen as long as we believe in God. Christianity is troublesome because you can’t analyze
the result of living a Christian life. Being a Christian is making the world a better place. We
are to help those in need, but people are often concern about their personal needs rather than
giving for other’s needs. Christianity influences a person’s thinking and behavior by making
them want to change so that they receive salvation. As a Christian you urge to want to do
what’s right by seeking ways to make a difference in the world. We stay away from sin by
focusing on God and this is done by following Jesus.
Reflection
As a Christian, it is not always easy to live out the beliefs of the Christian worldview. I know
it doesn’t come easy because I am striving to be like Jesus who had many people dislike him.
Throughout my days, no matter where I am at I always have the opportunity to live out the
belief of the Christian worldview. I struggled with only living my Christian belief strong
around Christians to avoid judgement and negative conversations. Growing up, I went to
public schools which was full of different people with different religious. In middle school, I
knew what I believed and who I wanted to follow but I wasn’t strong in my belief. I keep my

makes me comfortable to talk about my belief and embrace it. I grew up and I am now
