The Pulse Of The Church

The Pulse Of The Church

Understanding Christian Paradoxes

Often, it seems that we are rejected by the world. Why is it that after becoming a Christian, knowing the word of God, we seem to be unable to fit in this world? The desire, inclination and fondness of things seem to change. As a result, we can no longer live peacefully in this world and enjoying what we used to enjoy. If children of God want to have victory in this world, it is not to live in congruent with the world's mindset but to stand firm in the truth of God, especially in paradoxical situations. Although uncomfortable, the struggle we experience is pleasing in God's eyes because its very presence proves that there’s a new person inside us who wants to follow and submit to God. To the world, Christians may seem to lose all things when they follow God; but to children of God, it is when they obey God that they receive the greatest freedom and joy that surpass all earthly transient and momentary things.
