Christianity 101

  Perhaps it is time for some straight talk, and so in this one, we will leave the nuances of poetry behind. The art of becoming a Christian is actually quite simple, and quite possibly, by choosing art as the word, already some might say, I'll never understand this? The simplicity lies within the fact, that it is that thing which we call free will. The significance of that from a biblical perspective, is that it brings to mind the first time such a decision was made.
  Eve, though tempted by the tempter, decided to eat of the fruit, and give some to her husband. He was easier to convince. Afterall, had not Eve already done it? Trust me on this, when that beautiful woman leaned into him, offering the fruit, all he could think about, was a million reasons why he should, and not a one as to why he should not.
  So, by their free will, they chose sin, and mankind has been paying for it ever since. The ramifications of that choice, was that, by that simple act of defiance, pride, which is at the root of all sin, was born. The first one, the sin of pride. Afterall, did the serpent lie completely when he told Eve that she would be like God? And in that respect, that she now knew that she could decipher between good and evil. You must remember, that there is always an element of truth, otherwise, the story would fall apart before it begins. Are you starting to see the significance of that moment so long ago, do you understand the similarities? Eve had a decision to make, and chose to go it alone. You too have a decision to make, because the Lord Jesus Christ asks of you the same question. Do you choose my way, and the righteousness with it, or do you choose to go it alone? Either yes Lord, I give the reins of my life to you willingly, or again, I am too prideful to submit.
  But back to the simplistics of it. If nothing else, no matter how arrogant you are, we can agree the subject has merit, and is do your consideration. Get all your intellectual gymnastics out of the way, but in the end, give your answer. Either yes Jesus, teach me your ways, or no thanks, I'm doing fine on my own?
