Is it good to be a believer?

 Well, how to take it… There are many beliefs in the world. Christians
believe that there is only one God in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Jews also believe in one God, but they believe that there is only one person, the Three Saints of YHWH, who loves them and has chosen their nation as your property. Muslims also believe in one God, just that his name is Allah; he hates Jews and calls for unbelievers. Hindus believe that there are many gods. Buddhists believe that God’s question does not. It is important, especially if one reaches nirvana, that matters. Agnostics believe that no one can do anything to find out if a god really exists or not. Nevertheless, atheists firmly believe that neither God nor the gods do not exist. And the Rwandan Hutu’s equally firmly believe that if they eat a forest dwarf, they will gain an extraordinary ability to orient themselves in the bush – that is why they have killed and eaten most of them to this day a population of pygmies in the territory of their country… Good galimatias, right? And that’s much more faith!

The world encourages us to consider all these beliefs as equal. According to him, everyone has some faith; no one’s faith is better or worse; we, therefore, have all the beliefs and opinions, accept them with the same respect, and tolerate them as well. We Christians are then still prone to it to add as “they are also believers” (except for atheists, of course), because “in something there they believe above “and that is great because first they will be saved even after death, when those believing people they are, right? But… Imagine this situation: Four friends meet and want to go to the cinema. One believes that the film, Shack, is shown in the Cinema, Star, a smile for 10 € at 20:00, the second believes that it is at 16:00, the third believes that it is at the  Cinema, Metropolis, for € 15 and the fourth believes that it is free and therefore does not take any money with you.
Are their beliefs equal? Certainly not! Or one will come early, or the other late, or one he comes to the wrong cinema, or they don’t let the other one go to the movie because he doesn’t have a ticket. Just the one who he believed the right information – that is, the truth, and therefore his faith is also true – has no problem. Others have problems and inconveniences at best, at worst they lose the film completely…
Both the Hebrew and the Greek word for faith (the Holy Scriptures are written in these languages) have both meanings of certainty – something that we are convinced is true. So we can do it completely reliably and unconditionally accept. In other words, faith is faith in the Christian sense of the word only if it is true. Belief in something that is not true is worthless, even harmful – and from the point of view of Scripture. Therefore, there is no faith in a saint because certainty cannot be false or untrue! It’s not important that I am a “believer” and “I believe in something” – I have to believe truthfully and truthfully! Only then is true faith and has a price – precisely because of the truth that I receive with it and which alone matters!

That is why Jesus says, “If you remain in my word, you will truly be my disciples, 32 you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free ”(Jn 8: 31-32 NIV). Notice, not “faith in something will set you free,” but “the truth will set you free”! He also says that “foolishness” defiles a person “(cf. Mk 7: 22-23). He also speaks the parable of the virgins, where the wise come to marriage and the unwise – literally vulgar, blunt in origin – they stay sprained out, in the dark. The sower’s parable repeats that while the evil heart does not understand God’s word, a good heart listens to it and truly understands it. Not even that
we are not talking about Peter, who loves Jesus, sincerely wants only the best for Jesus – and yet Jesus punches hard in the face, “Get out of my way, Satan! To offend me, because you have no sense of God’s things, only for the human ”(Mt 16:23)! In other words – your faith is untrue because it does not correspond to God – and that makes you, even caring and loving, my satan, the adversary and enemy of God because out of ignorance, you seek things that are contrary to God!
As we can see, it is essential that we not only “believe in something,” but that our faith is clear, understood, clear and sure, indeed true, to be a true vision and understanding of the world, of herself, of life, of God, of all as it really is, in fact, and objectively. But many in this Christians are reprehensibly reckless! How many times have you heard how someone, even a Catholic, says: “I believe it that way…”, “I think it’s kind of like that…”, “I feel that way…”, they taught, and this is how I believe… “,” It is enough for me to use it suits… “- without any verification, is it really so! On the most important question of life and death, eternal life and eternal death, in that the only thing Jesus says about: “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and himself lost or damaged ?! ”(Lk 9:25) – they are recklessly satisfied with feelings, with assumptions, with uncertain conjectures and tales, and they don’t mind at all that they have no certainty! Terrible, isn’t it? Let’s be; therefore, they are very vigilant and careful not to fall into something so reckless with ourselves!
