Why would people think that Christianity is for weaklings? Sadly, in the culture in America it is easy to say "I am a Christian" and then live as you please. They are weak in that they really don’t act like they believe like that speak. These individuals are trying to be strong in their own effort and yet they fail.
- True believes are willing to die for their faith
- Fake believes want an easier path
Yes, to the world true believers may look like they are not standing on their own two feet but what is harder is to trust and obey the Lord. This obedience can (not always) come at great price to their own well being. It can even mean losing their life for their faith.
Having spent a number of years oversees I had the opportunity to meet or hear of individuals who spent years in prison for their faith, suffered harmful situations because they refused to deny that Jesus was real or endure hardship so that they could learn and study the Word of God.
Is Christianity for weak people? If we say "We will not see heaven without receiving Christ" then yes, Christianity is for weaklings. If we are saying Christian’s don’t have the "back bone" to stand up for anything then NO. True believes have the strength to suffer for their faith. They are not weak people.
