The Advantages of Christianity in the Era of Disruption

Abstract

Christianity is not just a slogan for the Christian community, but refers to the identity of one being a disciple of Jesus Christ. As a disciple of Christ, Christians live in the midst of family, their church, the world of work and broader society. This means that the expression ‘Christianity’ represents all Christians in all ages and in all places. Christianity shows that there is indeed a unity as one is a follower of Jesus and lives according to God's will. Indeed, in the past, humans have lost the glory of God and lived in sin. But because of His grace, God in His absolute sovereignty requires that everyone must believe in Him in order to obtain eternal life. God's grace poured out upon all Christians enables them to do God's will in often vexing times. This has been the hallmark of Christianity throughout the ages, including the current era of disruption. The first, and foremost advantage of being a Christian is that one belongs to Jesus. In Him, one has eternal life, and in this world, peace and joy that is in essence beyond anything the world can offer one. In Jesus believers have hope, and have the strength to face and defeat whatever comes their way, be it illness or even death. This brief article seeks to show in a modest manner that that every era has always had its own distinct and soul shattering challenges, but God gives excellence for every Christian to be able to adjust to His divine will so that His people have a positive impact on the family, their church, the world of work and the society where God places has placed them to serve. Believers must demonstrate their faith and this refers both to the their acts of trust and to the content of their faith. The Christian faith is having confidence in Jesus Christ in his ability to bring a believer through every difficult circumstance of life. Digital media technology must be used in the propagation of the faith as it offers endless opportunities, but also challenges.
