I am a believer for many reasons - the unconditional love, the emptiness that once was in my heart that Christ filled, the fellowship, the hope - but also for the fact that Christ died and rose again for my sins and my loved ones sins. This reassures me because those who have passed are now in heaven.. and this means when my time comes I will be reunited with my loved ones again. I won't be without them forever, in fact I will be with them forever in heaven. This makes me feel so much better. Christianity offers grace.. and the assurance that there is something far greater than this earth.. and there is a place where your loved ones are waiting to receive you once again..

Hope is the difference.
