Faith is about what it gets out of you, not what you get out of it!--r1

So many times people don't believe in God because they didn't get this or get that. Or because something in their life failed. Basically because they didn't get something out of it. but is this really the reason to have faith?

Isn't faith more about what it can get out of you? Isn't it supposed to turn you into a better person? Not necessarily make your life all rosey and pristine, but rather it makes you into a person who can handle life when all isn't rosey and pristine. Faith should change us into people that can give things to others, instead of changing us into people who know how to get things out of the divine power we call God! To me my faith is about me becoming like Christ, it's about God getting all the stuff out of me that rebells against me becoming like Christ. Sure I may not get perfect health and wealth from my GOd. I may not get a problem free life, with no losses. But in the big picture of things, what matters most? Getting all the stuff, or becoming like Christ, so I can be a blessing to others around me?

Date: 2/10/2004 4:48:00 PM  From Authorid: 15070    Is this a discussion, or a declaration of your own Belief System?  
Date: 2/10/2004 5:03:00 PM  From Authorid: 2030    Faith (in any belief system) is about striving to meet self expectations for your benefit and for your fellow man. Sitting around waiting for the mana from heaven is the way to live ones life. Faith should be a personal thing not to be pushed on those who aren't interested or bashed by someone who thinks their way is better. R1 has nailed it in my opinion.  
Date: 2/10/2004 5:10:00 PM  From Authorid: 15070    Actually, this is well written post. I agree, teaching by example speaks volumes. And anyone who becomes a Christian for what they can get out of it, has become a Christian for the wrong reason.
