In the academic world there isn't limits to what you can learn nowadays, if you are in secondary school you are thinking what you are going to study in college; if you are in college you are considering you prospectus after you graduate;if you have a degree already , you are probably considering a graduate course and so on.
Well now if you think being a Christian is about going to the church every Sunday or some of them, and do a pretty reasonable job reading some of your favorite passages in the Bible once in a while, you missed the whole point.
A Christian has endless questions, a Christian is always thirsty for knowledge, but above all a Christian knows that as much as in everything else he does in life, he must improve, and grow in the Christian faith, and in the knowledge of what it means to be a Christian.
A lot people calling themselves Christians nowadays have the shallowest understanding of Christ possible, and on top of it all, they just decide to make up their own beliefs...yes, that's the right: recipe to disaster...
(..)
Questions, questions... they should always be on the make of a Christian mind:
What does it mean to be a Christian?
Who is Jesus Christ??
What does it actually mean that the Lord Jesus Christ died for me?
What implications those facts have on my understanding of life??
How does the knowledge of Christ affects my life in practical ways??
(...)
The main reason why we have "christianity" nowadays that resembles less and less Christ, is because no man is changed until his mind is changed. We've been created to think and when we ignore that Christianity requires a renewed mind (Romans 12:2), we stop asking the right questions.
Our clear understanding of Christ will come after our questions are answered rationally and satisfactorily. Our worship of God is the consequence of our rational understading of who He is, as it is revealed in His word.
If you have stopped questioning yourself, I want to encourage you to start once more, to remember the endless questions you had when you first came to know Christ. Remember the eager interest you had about learning more and more about our Saviour and start to look for the answers in the right place:
The Bible
In Christ
