A growing percentage of people in The United States don’t believe in or identify with a religious group. More than 78% of those people were raised as members of a religious group before losing faith in God’s plan.
Replacing your faith is a lot more difficult than replacing other lost things.
That’s why most people walk away from their beliefs and faith. The change of belief not only changes your faith but also impacts other areas of life, including family life, marriage, and friendships. It turns your whole world upside down.
So, why is it that people lose their faith despite the consequences? Here’s what you need to know.
People Begin to Doubt
A lot of people end up walking away from their faith because they can’t understand the Lord’s Word. They don’t see the teachings in spiritual terms and try to find literal meanings in Bible verses.
It’s okay to have doubts and questions about the teachings, but it’s important to have hope and belief in the Lord that you’ll understand them one day. Having trust in the Lord’s words will eradicate the shallow belief in your heart.
People Think It’s Too Hard Being a Good Christian
Being a good Christian can be difficult. It’s very challenging, and it asks a lot of us. Your Christian faith requires you to forgive people easily and quickly. However, not many people can be selfless and forgiving. It’s especially difficult when you have to forgive someone who wronged you.
But the teachings of the Lord call us to put others before ourselves, which makes it hard for people to be good Christian. People need to shun a lot of their habits and choices to be a good Christian and let go of deceit, lust, selfishness, ego, etc.
People who have faith in the Lord need to suppress their fleshly desires and be the best versions of themselves. They have a harder path to navigate. (Matthew 7:13) Though it’s difficult, it makes the world a better place to live in.
They Have Some Questions
Some people think that Christianity has some inconsistencies. They have questions about science, hell, other religions, etc. This way, people end up with questions they don’t understand, which ultimately turn into doubts.
However, faith can eventually help you find the answers to these questions and return to the Lord’s ways.
