Yes in deed as a christian,christ like and christ followers and we are surposed to have every things in as a redemmed child of God,as bible said.so my question is that why are christian still poor,when the bible says christ was rich and for our sake he was made poor that we should be rich,then why are there still poor christians,to the exstent of cross carpeting to muslims.i think we the so call christians are the problem,1 the knowledge of the scripture is not there that is why they know not how to enter the city.
Concerning Christians is that Christians don't have a one particular religion the following they have different kind of life their lives so I believe that that is one of the things that is causing problem in Christian life if Christians can help each other I believe that it will create many impact of them to elevate each other for best of that does not help each other that is why they continue to remain poor Your prayer to God through Jesus is never in vain. God hears all prayers, and answers them all according to the faith of the individual person who is praying. He also answers according to His love.
When Jesus fed the 5000, and later the 4000, He didn't start with nothing. Rather, He started with a small amount of bread and fish, and multiplied it to feed the whole groups. Why did He start with something rather than start from noting? He could have started with nothing; He is that powerful.
He did it because of the weak faith of both the disciples and also the people. Starting with something built their faith, because they could see that there was something there... rather than simply popping the bread and fish into existence with nothing to start with at all.
After all, if you want a new car, is your faith strong enough to simply pop it into existence in your driveway? Probably not. But if you work for it - get the money and pay for it - your faith is strong enough to do it this way. You have done it before, or you have seen other people do it, so you have faith that you can do it, too.
Then talking about faith, yes as a believe you ought to have faith but then faith without work is dead according to the Holy book in James 2:17-26.
Believers are Christians because they Believe in God, because Jesus Christ is God along with His Father and the Holy Spirit.
Formal religions are simply people coming together to clarify what they believe about God and how His Word applies to their life. They also form religions to strengthen each other in times of trials and troubles. Even religions that don't believe in God are there so that the people learn how to live together better.
Faith without works is dead as James says. But that is true in everything in life. People don't do things when they don't believe that there will be a result. But when they believe something, they automatically do what they believe.
Romans 14:23:
Quote
But whoever has doubts is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin. [my emphasis]
While it is true that some people partake of a religion, yet don't believe, most people believe in the things of their religion. If their religion is a Christian religion, they believe in Jesus Christ.
