Does Christian Life Seem Lonely?

For me Christian life is not boring nor lonely. Because right now I am very much enjoying my Christian life. I am currently involved in a religious organization and we have a lot of Christian activities that not only help us grow spiritually but also emotionally. I am proud to be a Christian!

to be a follower and a believer of Christ doesn't to be lonely... actually its the happiest thing ever in your life if you would just try to figure it out what behind those mysteries and problems God has cast upon you. Most of the worldly people would think that to be a Christian is a lonely life and will slowly kill them but the truth is no. in fact it is where the real happiness starts and that kind of happiness would lasts forever not like the happiness of this world we facing that is temporary.if i were you , you got to know that real happiness now.

naw.. not at all.. it's an adventure only few were chosen to have..and if God be for us, who can be against us?.. heheh..

The part that worries me is "There is not anything about me has changed." When you become a born again believer you are a new creation with a new heart and new desires. But then you go on to say that you haven't told anyone but they seem to know anyway so I would say something is going on there. A little perspective might help here. You have gained, as a believer, God as your heavenly father, the Almighty, the Creator, the ruler of the universe but in the process might have lost some friends. That is an extremely small price to pay. The Bible says to draw nigh to God and he will draw nigh to you. Spend some time in prayer and in his word and be obedient to what he says and you'll know a real closeness to God and the peace that goes with it. Losing all friends will seem small compared to the relationship you have with God.Trust him.

In last Sunday's Gospel reading, Jesus says: "Do you think I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division; for henceforth in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three; they will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against her mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law." Luke 12:51-53 Also, 1 Peter 4:4, "They think it strange that you do not plunge with them into the same flood of dissipation, and they heap abuse on you." Matthew 10:22 "And you shall be hated of all men for my name's sake; but he that endures to the end shall be saved." So, unfortunately, your situation is to be expected. The best thing to do is pray for your friends, and be a good Christian witness to them. Remember that in becoming a Christian, you have many brothers and sisters in Christ. Join a bible study or volunteer at your church to get to know some like-minded people.

Christian life is the best of all. You should be happy that Jesus Christ is already in you, I really hope so. It is natural for Christians to experience persecution, otherwise, think again if you are really a Christian. Don't worry about your friends, show your testimony to them and pray that you win them back for God to be saved as well. Remember, Jesus said in John 15:18 "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first." - NIV. Remember too that you are not lonely, you have Christ in you. God bless! :)

I am not lonely at all. I am a member of a wonderful Presbyterian church in Canada, and my fiance is a member of the Mormon church, and is very active down here in Arizona. We are becoming active in eachother's churches, though neither one of us plan to convert. We work very well together.

That happens in many occasions. But we should not be lonely. We have our brethren in Christ to be with. We have to go along with other people but if they stay away from us especially because we became Christians, well, we should not be discouraged, that's normal, and it's better to be with God.

It seems funny to me that you say this, because where I live almost everyone is Christian, and it's because I'm not Christian that I often wind up left out of things. Growing up in a place that was even more Christian-oriented than where I live now, I was pretty much an outcast because I wasn't a Christian. It became a popular game among other kids to throw Bibles at me and such. Are there no other Christians where you live? What is the prominent religion there? What religion were the friends that left you when you became Christian?

No. Maybe because my friends and I don't discuss religion. But real friends wouldn't leave you just because you have changed your religion. There are real friends out there . They may be of your faith and some may not but they are out there. Take Care.

No, I am not lonely since I have found the Lord. I have made many good Christian friends and the Lord gives us so many things! He has a wonderful plan for your life and it will be perfect for you. It is really hard to be a Christian in today's world, but it is the happiest and most fulfilling life. God blesses us so much and we should be excited that we have Him as our Lord and Savior! God bless!

You must be in the wrong company. If those so called "friends" of yours left you when you started showing your Christianity, they're not worth it. Try making friends with people from your church or people who would understand you. You will find out that life is not that lonely. But being friendless does not really matter much if you are God-filled. For me, happiness consists in having God. You see, if you really are a Christian, you will naturally be attractive to people around because you are kind, cheerful, patient, willing to serve...those are Christian qualities right? These should be sufficient enough to draw friends to you. If you think you still lack these qualities, try practicing them and you'll have more friends. However, some people can still discriminate you for this. Be prepared. Even Jesus was persecuted for being a Christian. Good luck brave soul! Don't be discouraged!

I don't believe being a Christian means you have to lead a lonely life.Maybe it's just coincidental,maybe your friends are busy.I'm sure it's nothing.You shouldn't feel alone cos you have God.Take care.Believe in God,thy shan't be lonely.

I will not change my attitude towards my friends if he or she becomes a christian. Friendship should transcend any religious or political believes. If I were you I would believe that genuine friends will still be there for me.
