How Do Christians See Non Christians?

1. The fundamental difference between a Christian and a non Christian is Believe. A Christian is a firm believer in The Gospel or ‘The Good News’ that Jesus is the savior who has delivered mankind from sin and the consequences of sin. A non Christian on the other hand either never knew The Gospels or rejected it outright. Either way non Christians are not Believers.

 

2. According to Christianity God has forgiven every Christian. As one who has been freed from the bondage of sin and forgiven by God a Christian naturally look forward to a blissful eternal life in paradise. The ultimate pleasurable place after death.

 

3. Such is also the hope and wishes of Christians who are sincerely concerned with the fate of non Christians. The reason being the Christian concept of human nature as sinner from birth. Christians therefore see non Christians as sinners who are spiritually lost and forsaken by God in this life. In Christianity all forms of devotion and upright deeds of a non Christian are futile. Paradise is definitely out of the question. Instead they will be subjected to the eternal wrath of God In the after life. A terrifying torment of everlasting agony called hell.

 

4. With such a grim outlook for non Christians in the hereafter the Christians are encouraged to reach and save the ‘lost’ in this life while the windows of opportunity are still open. Some are ever eager to share ‘The Good News’ about believing in Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior. Some are determined to become productive Christians that actively draw non Christians into the fold of Christianity like good trees that bear good fruits. Some are duty bound to make disciples in all nations.

 

5. From the perspective of Christianity the way Christians see and approach non Christians lay down the foundation for spreading and sharing the faith with others. The Gospel are widely preached with the intention of converting others to the Christian faith. That is why Christianity is a missionary religion and Christians are found in many nations.

 

But why does Believing in The Gospel or ‘The Good News’ is so paramount that it holds the key to paradise in Christianity? That will be the next right question that need to be answered….

    Thank You bro

    Maybe it would be more interesting if there is a brief comparison between what is in the OT and the NT on the subject of ‘sins’ and salvation .As we know, the former is more Torahic in its outlook as compared to the Pauline characteristic of the latter

    That comparison may “justify’ what the christians believe or reveal contrasting views.

      A scriptural comparison on the concept of sin and salvation is valuable indeed towards understanding Christianity and Christian cosmology.For the moment it suffices to grasp the bird’s eye view of the faith in principle. We will dwell the lenght and breadth of their epistemology as our understanding deepen.Do remind me again less i might forget.

    Thanks for these articles. I am sure they will be very fruitful to your readers. A few things:

    1. I believe it would be helpful for you to note the slant of your understanding is closer to the evangelical, or Protestant, understanding of Christianity. While Catholics share many of the same precepts, some of it differs.

    2. Just nitpicking: Christians believe that Jesus died for all, not just Christians. However it is only the Christian who believes and accepts this, all others rejecting this truth, does rejecting salvation. The end result is the same as you pointed out.

    3. The Catholics believe that our way is the ORDINARY and known way of getting to heaven. This is the guaranteed path of reaching unity with God aka heaven, which is why we are a missionary faith as you rightfully pointed out. However, we do NOT discount other paths to heaven: we believe all faiths contain a shard of truth that lead to the Divine, and He certainly looks at your works too, we just don’t know to what extent. Therefore the right answer to the question if non-Christians go to heaven is that we don’t know, it is up to the mercy of God and His judgment and wisdom. The Catholic Church has no authority to declare where such souls are headed to after death. All we can do is promote the definite path.

    2. For example

      Thank you for your input. Very relevant and helpful in furthering our understanding the misunderstanding. Point taken. Interdenominational differences are accountable.
