for you to prayerfully consider about your new life in Jesus Christ!<\/strong><\/span><\/p><ul><li><strong>How do you know that you need a Savior?<\/strong>\u00a0Consider the good, the bad, and the ugly. 1) The Good: the best that you have is just never good enough. 2) The Bad: your own solutions don&#8217;t really work out that well. 3) The Ugly: in the end, you know that you are going to die anyway. You need Christ because only he can replace the good, the bad, and the ugly, with all that is really true, good, and beautiful.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li><b>Jesus Christ invites you to experience all that is true, good, and beautiful!<\/b>\u00a01) The True: there is a reason and purpose to life, which you discover through faith in Jesus Christ. 2) The Good: there are values that endure forever, which you encounter through the love of Jesus Christ. 3) The Beautiful: you realize that the only life really worth living is one in which Jesus Christ is at the center of it.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li><strong>Isn&#8217;t it enough to be spiritual, instead of being religious?<\/strong>\u00a0 The short answer is &#8220;no.&#8221;\u00a0 Here is the long answer. 1) Being religious without being spiritual\u00a0is like going through the motions, but without having faith. 2) Being spiritual without being religious\u00a0is like talking the talk, but without walking the walk. 3) Being religious is the lifestyle\u00a0that spiritually transforms your everyday existence for the better in Christ.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li><strong>The opposite of spiritual is not religious &#8211; the opposite of spiritual is worldly.<\/strong>\u00a01) Being Worldly\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 15px;\">is acting as if this life were all that there is.\u00a0 2) Being Spiritual is<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 15px;\">\u00a0realizing that there is so much more to life. 3) Being Religious is\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 15px;\">living spiritually within a broken world. Religion is what connects your highest aspirations with your everyday lived experience.\u00a0 Religion is thus the bridge from this life to the next in Christ!<\/span><\/li><\/ul><ul><li><span style=\"font-size: 15px;\"><strong>The Christian Religion, founded by Jesus Christ, holds your life together in three ways.<\/strong>\u00a01) Creed: you\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 15px;\">understand life more fully through the teachings of Christ&#8217;s Church. 2) Code: you get along <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 15px;\">with others better because you realize how much Christ loves you in the community of his Church. 3) Culture: you connect with\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 15px;\">Christ spiritually through the sacraments of his Church.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><ul><li><span style=\"font-size: 15px;\"><b>Why should you be a Catholic Christian?<\/b> Because the Church that Jesus founded is one, holy, catholic, and apostolic! Everything that Christ intended for his faithful followers from the very beginning, faithfully continues even now in the Catholic Church, through Scripture, Tradition, and Magisterium, until Christ returns in glory at the end of time.
