Christians believe in God, mainly for redemption (self) and cleansing (mind). It is a kind of self-interest to improve self-cultivation and recall humanity through "God's will", and to influence and help others through their own words and deeds. The belief in the combination of ism and altruism. For example, this Sam Kiddes, after becoming religious, stopped taking drugs or committing crimes. Instead, he became motivated and cared about his family. He completely said goodbye to the past. It was a bit of a revolution and brought hope and warmth to his family. He went to Africa by chance and witnessed the misery and suffering of the children who were left homeless by the war. He insisted on setting up an orphanage. Not only that, but in order to protect them, he did not hesitate to risk his life to carry a gun and rebels. Against the battle, he did not hesitate to go back to the country to collect donations from the rich, and he did not hesitate to sell his company and house. What he did did not bring him any benefit, but a spontaneous behavior (he just wanted to help them) under a noble style. This is the power of faith. "A person’s abilities can be large or small, but as long as he has this spirit (without selfishness), he is a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, a person who has escaped from low-level tastes, and a useful person. People who care for the people". In a sense, this is also a "miraculous".
In fact, our traditional religious teachings also contain similar things, such as the compassion and equality of all living beings advocated by Buddhism, the quietness of Taoism, and the burden of heaven, but like many policies of the country, it falls into the specific implementation. It has changed. Our philanthropists pray to God and worship Buddha, just to keep their peace, to pray for children, to be promoted and to make money, etc., hoping that the people they believe in can recite their piety, help themselves in good and bad luck, success or failure, and bless their good fortune. It is a naked self-interest.
Personally, I believe that the foundation of civilization and morality is faith. The more citizens of a country believe in religion and the more united their beliefs are, the higher its level of civilization and morality will be. The fundamental reason for our deteriorating world and the unrest of the people lies in the lack of faith. It is said that China, as the world’s most populous country, has a faith rate of only 1% so far. The first catastrophe is about to happen on a continent on Earth. This catastrophe is a warning against a country without faith." "A more devastating catastrophe will happen in 2013, because the gods of the kingdom of God will intervene and update the earth. All filth, remove all obstacles for the great guiding spirit of the kingdom of God, so that human beings in the kingdom without faith can be inspired by the great guiding spirit." Another reason is that the lack of faith leads to the prevalence of money worship, and the whole society and people's hearts are full of impetuousness. And greed. In April, Yan Xuetong, the dean of the Department of International Relations at Tsinghua University, put forward a point of view when he lectured on the international situation to the cadres of the central and state agencies: We have a strong core value, which is "money worship." In his view, the idea of "money worship" has spread all over China and is unattractive in the world. This is very reasonable.
Let’s divide this society into three levels in a pyramid. The top level is the high-ranking people and the householders, the middle level is the middle class and office workers, and the bottom level is the urban people and farmers. If you look carefully, You will find that the ratio of believing in God is the highest level and the lowest level, and the middle level is the least. What is the reason? Think about it yourself, and welcome to inquire.
But you have to ask me if I was Sam Kidders, would I behave like him? I'll tell you for sure that no, if you really want to ask the reason, I can only tell you that I'm desperately living this life. You don’t necessarily have the opportunity to go abroad. But this does not mean that I have no faith. I have faith. If you ask me what I am, I will proudly tell you that I believe in the party!
