Today's discussion topic is 'what does hope and fulfilment mean in Christianity'?
How can anyone have hope when so many people are dying?
The Christian hope is hope in God and in Jesus Christ.
God created the earth to be a happy and peaceful place for everyone to live. If everyone keeps their faith in God, he will keep watch over us and guide us in the right direction.
Does anyone know, what was Gods plan for creation?
The first man and woman, Adam and Eve made a mistake and disobeyed God. They selfishly ate from the tree of knowledge. The consequences were that Adam and Eve were driven out of Eden and Sin was brought into the world.
Yes thats correct
This means that in Christianity, a perfect world would look like no suffering, no war, no death and no diseases. We will be forever with God and Jesus Christ
(1 Peter 1:13) 'Set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ'
Can anyone name a scripture reference to support you ideas?
How can people put their faith in God when thousands of people are dying?
Well, that is a very complex question...but the simple answer is that we all have to trust in the path that God has chosen for us and believe that he will turn suffering to joy. For example those effected by the Russian Ukraine war need to draw strength from God and trust his guidance and protection.
So kids, the lesson to be taken from today is to put your faith in God and trust the path he has chosen for you
