Deep dives
Christianity's Unconventional Invitation
Christianity is different from other religions and philosophies in that it encourages confession rather than hiding one's flaws. The conventional expectation in society is to hide hypocrisy and present oneself as flawless, but Christianity challenges this notion. The Christian faith values authenticity and confessing one's unworthiness, rather than attempting to prove one's worthiness. By admitting our imperfections and relying on the salvation of Jesus, Christians can find solace in knowing that their flaws do not define them.
