Explain how a particular belief in an afterlife may affect the way in which a Christian lives their lives.

        But does that seem right to have to do things you may be interested in doing just to get a good barging. But if you really think about it you do half of the things already in your normal day lives, e.g. thou shall not murder. I’m sure not everyone will murder someone.

        If like most people in this earth today, believe that when you die that that is it, and nothing else will happen and that’s your time on this earth and its all over. The majority of these people will seem to get the idea that if you only get one life you may as well try everything that there is to do on this earth, and unfortunately this includes drugs, etc…

        Now if we weigh up the options of what people will believe about what is to come, if you believe that nothing will happen and there is a heaven and a god you will have lost eternal life in heaven. And if you were right and there is nothing. You would have gained or lost nothing.

         But if you did believe in God and follow the Christian teachings and lived a good fruitful life, and there did turn out to be such a thing as a heaven and a god, you would have gained eternal life in heaven, and if you was wrong and there is nothing after you die. You would have gained or lost nothing. So if overall you weigh up the options, it does seem that if you do believe in God, etc… it will be a lot more sense to do so because there is a chance that you may be right, and therefore you would have gained something. And it doesn’t exactly cost anything or take up much of your life to be a full committed Christian. So I believe that it is a good thing to do so because it also helps you keep your sense in life and gives you something to believe in if your felling down.
