What is the goal of Christianity?

Answer 1

To attain eternal life " And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him (Jesus) to the test, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" He said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read?" And he answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and to love your neighbor as you love yourself." And he said to him, "You have answered right; do this, and you will live." So that we know and understand God. The purpose of Christianity is to do the will of God and believe in the words of God. The will of God is to preach the gospel, so that other souls in this world can be saved from sin and go to eternal heaven and not suffer the wrath of hell. God does not want us to work to receive our salvation, He wants us to give up on our self and realize that we can do nothing through our own power and work. The first thing we must do to be a christian is to return to God and believe that Jesus Christ the Son of God took away our sins forever and ever and that we don't have to toil to be good, because we can not be good. Through one man (Adam) we have been made sinners into this world. Therefore, we must deny our thoughts, for our thoughts are controlled by Satan and Satan works through our thoughts. We have to throw away what we think is right and return to God. God is Alpha and Omega, and therefore He is eternal and we can be made holy by the forgiveness of sin.

Answer

I'd say that the purpose is to serve God and others. The commands in The Bible are all for the good of us and others, because God loves us. It's like the way a parent tells their child not to eat four cookies before lunch. The kid thinks that they are being annoying, but in fact the parent just wants the best for them.

Answer:

Christ and His Father have a two-fold purpose (plan) in mind. The restoration of God's Government in the universe, which Satan disrupted in the beginning. And the pro-creation of the Eternal, Immortal Family of God as they do it.

"Then cometh the end, when He shall have delivered up the Kingdom to God, even the Father; when He shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign, till He hath put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death... then shall the Son also Himself be subject unto Him that put all things under Him, that God may be all in all." (I Cor.15"24-28)

"...the first heaven and the first earth were passed away... and I John saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her Husband... Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God..." (Rev.21:1-4).

"...It is done... He that overcometh shall inherit all things (the universe is part of all things); and I will be his God, and HE SHALL BE MY SON"! (verses 6-7)

Answer 2

A true christian's goal is to honor the Lord. You must accept the Lord as the Father, the Son and the Holy spirit. But once you have accepted it you must show it. It's one thing to say it, but you have to follow God's words. The true goal of a christian is to let the Lord's light shine within you for others to see. & once others see how 'holy' you are they may too accept Jesus Christ, and be eternally saved.

Answer 3

Answer

Religion's goal is to make man human. Whereas in Christ's goal is to make man God in life and in nature but not in the Godhead.

Answer

The goal of religion is to give context to humans' need to understand life and their place in it. Each different religion has it's own context and each person chooses the context that suits that person.

Answer 4

Different people probably have various goals.

But the Bible itself mentions the goal regarding Christian morality.

Probably the #1 goal is: to 'mirror the God Christians worship'.

The Bible states that God is 'righteous'. He does what is 'right'; what is 'proper'; He does what is 'moral'. In fact God, due to his creatorship, sets the standards of what is moral or righteous, and what is unrighteous.

If a person who calls him/herself a Christian lived immorally, it would reflect on the god they worship.

Another goal might be: to set an example for others; parents for their children; Christians for non-christians.

2 Peter 2:2 states: "Many will follow them in their unrestrained immorality, and because of these false teachers the way of truth will be slandered." (Common English Bible)

Romans 2:21-24:". . . . You say people should be faithful in marriage. But are you faithful? . . . . but you disobey the Law and bring shame to God . . . . "You have made foreigners say insulting things about God." (CEV)

Answer 5

Loving God and sharing the Gospel to get as many people as possible to Heaven by informing them to repent and recieve Christ as their savior and to forgive so they will be forgiven in eternity as well as not judging or condemning so they are not judged or condemned in eternity.As well as loving our neighbors and changing society for the better in good and caring ways.

Answer 6

What is Christianity's final goal (it still applies today).

The goal of Christianity is to restore a person relationship with God.

The Bible says everybody is born spiritually dead. Another way of saying this is people don't have a relationship with/know God. This is because the first man and woman did not obey God and so their relationship with God - the creator and sustainer of life - was broken. This is sin. Throughout the history of mankind - as told in the Bible - the way for a person to restore their relationship with God is to acknowledge their relationship with God is broken and to offer a blood sacrifice.

In the early history of mankind this is what people did. God chose the nation of Israel to be His representatives on earth. Israel was supposed to show the other nations what a relationship with God is like. But Israel turned from God and His ways and followed other gods.

So God came to earth as a man - Jesus - and died as the 'lamb of God', a sacrifice for the sin of all who believe. If a person believes this, the Bible says God forgives the person and that person gives them eternal life.

Answer 7

The goal of Christianity is that people could be forgiven of their sins- which separate them from God and come to have a personal relationship with Him.
