Many people tend to believe that being Christian means you go to church every Sunday and are generally a “good person”. However, this is a common misconception and there is so much more to Christianity. In simple terms, being Christian means you believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and aim to be more like him by following his word. While people usually think Christians are “good people” who follow a list of rules or commands, Jesus seeks out the most broken, hurt, rebellious people and calls them to believe. Being Christian is not about being perfect because we all fall short of his glory, but as Christians we believe that God forgives us for our sins because of what Jesus did for everyone on the cross. This is what I have personally found so powerful about believing in Jesus because at first, I was so worried about working my way to gaining his approval but then I realized that nothing I do matters since he already died for my mistakes. I believe Jesus is touching more and more people of this generation because society is so broken that people are looking for answers. It has been so powerful to see Christianity growing in society through things like music, podcasts, social media, clothing, and so much more.
