The Courageous Logic of Christianity (05/24/'24) -Viewpoint

The Courageous Logic of Christianity Christianity operates on a unique logic where faith transforms the impossible into the possible and vice versa. At its core, this faith is rooted in the sacrificial act of the cross and the power of resurrection. Believers are called to exhibit absolute trust and courageous faith, even in the face of death. In this faith, reason and spirit are unified, guiding actions not by abstract metaphysical concepts but by genuine sincerity. Unlike other religions that focus on achieving enlightenment through practice, Christianity emphasizes a courageous heart that transcends fear of death. This state of being is not attained through logical understanding but through immediate belief in the resurrection. It involves a profound realization and commitment to act on this truth, overcoming the fear of death through the heart and spirit of Christ. This courageous spirit is akin to that of warriors who face death unflinchingly. Paul and Jesus' disciples displayed such bravery not because they had special secrets or training but because they shared the same spirit and faith as Jesus. Their actions and willingness to face death stemmed from their deep belief in and commitment to the resurrection. This unified spirit of faith and determination exemplifies the unique and transformative logic of Christianity. Pastor Steven G. Lee (May 24, 2024)
