A Christian Perspective on Life.

Life from a Christian perspective is a serves to Jesus Christ in gratitude foe what He has done for us. This  includes not only things like helping others to find salvation through Jesus but it also means using the talents and abilities God as given us to reach people for Jesus. This can be something as dramatic and adventurous as going to some remote primitive village to something as mundane as working to be able to help support such missionaries. The key is in finding how God would have us use our talents for Him.

The Christian life also means living a life that is separated from those pleasures of the world that are not pleasing to God. This is not about fear of God striking us down out of anger but out of Love and wanting to keep a close relationship with Him.

To a faithful Christian this not drudgery by the greatest joy a Christian can have.

A Christian Perspective on Birth.

According to the Bible unborn babies are human beings and they are treated as such in the Mosaic Law.  Since no starting point in the pregnancy is given the implication is that life begins at conception which is why Christian’s tend to be pro-life.

Do to Adam’s sin in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3) every baby that is born has a sin nature. In other words we are all barn with the tendency to sin. This is why Jesus died on the Cross to save us from out sin. The Bible does indicate that a baby that dies before being capable making a decision to accept Christ goes to heaven.

Children are considered a gift from God to the parents even though some kids may qualify as gag gifts. While not all married couples have children from a Christian perspective children are greatest blessing God can bestow on a married couple so a birth is considered a cause for great joy.
