The essence of being a Christian

True faith is believing in the things which we cannot see. Yet it can be difficult believing in an unseen God. Many Christians want a religion which is full of colour and processions, a religion which appeals to the senses. They want a religion with things that you can see, things you can hear, things you can taste. They want God to be tangible and perceptible. 

Instead of focusing on what we experience, our hearts should be so in tune with God, so spiritually minded that the thought of God and the word of God fills us with Joy. Rather than filling our 'religion' with things which are perceptible because the standard of scripture is too high we should fill our hearts and minds with Christ Jesus. The more a man or woman grows in spirituality than the plainer their religion will be.
