Christianity
There are plenty of religions across the world. Each of the religions has different teachings on how people should live. The common factor about the religions is that they believe in a supernatural being who is responsible for their existence (Kaufman 2018). Given the fact that the teachings differ from one religion to another, people have the freedom of choosing whatever religion they wish to believe in. Christianity greatly moves me due to the various teachings put across by their holy book, the Bible.
The most compelling thing about Christianity is that they believe in life after death. People go through a lot of sorrow when they lose a loved one. People have gone through depression as a result of death, hoping that the person can resurrect. In such cases, the biblical teachings offer them hope that they will meet with their loved one during the end of the world. Through the death of Jesus Christ, Christians were forgiven their sins.

Therefore, this results in a society which is guided by morals and acts in the best interest of other people. For instance, the bible has the ten commandments that Christians should follow each one of them in order to see the kingdom of God. Jesus summed up the ten commandments into loving one another (Evans 2019). Hence, in a situation whereby people show love to one another, then it will be difficult for them to act in a manner which hurts other people. In addition to the ten commandments, the Bible has other teachings from both the old and the new testament that act as a guiding factor to Christianity. Some of the teachings have an impact on the whole world regardless of a person's beliefs, and hence, it is a religion that deserves an appreciation. Its focus is the wellbeing of other people regardless of their religion. It eve...
