Re: Three phases of a Life of a Christian
As a Christian or even as a human being you must face many crisis. Sometimes they seem never ending. Sometimes another crisis immediately follows just after resolving the former one. Then you have have to relearn faith, joy and kindness because sometimes crisis can rob us of our happiness and goodness.
The author’s “three steps” are things that continuously happen in life.

Every achievement is having grace, and helping others to achieve things is sharing graceNelson Chocha wrote: ↑20 Jun 2020, 09:34 All the outlined phases occurs quite often in day to day life expectancy. In my own awareness, Receiving Grace is every achievement and giving grace is sharing your enjoyment. As for Crisis, it is Crisis.
In additional to answer your questions"Have you ever done it"? and "is it practical"?. My answer to both questions is YES.

It is a never ending cycle and that is called 'life'Christieee wrote: ↑20 Jun 2020, 17:18 I agree with the author on this but I think that it’s a never ending cycle.

Ofcourse. The first two phases might happen spontaneously, but for the third phase you have to put some effortSally_Heart wrote: ↑23 Jun 2020, 04:22 I do believe that most people go through the first two, even the non-religious ones. Some people might not understand that they have been bestowed grace. Some people come back from tough situations and it's amazing how one might not attribute that to divine intervention. Returning grace mostly comes when you have utterly believed in the grace bestowed upon you and you are much grateful for it. If one believes that they deserved the grace anyway they might not be attuned to returning it.

I agree that even people who aren't religious go through the stages. As for returning grace, I think that our propensity to do that depends on a person to person basis. Even if you believe that you have not received grace from a divine intervention, a person can still share that grace. Its something precious about the human condition.Sally_Heart wrote: ↑23 Jun 2020, 04:22 I do believe that most people go through the first two, even the non-religious ones.

Yes, many of us are born with a religion, but we become truly religious when we are in trouble

Anyone can believe that he/she got through his/her crisis all alone. But that doesn't make any hindrance to help others to get through thier problemsTeddyquam wrote: ↑23 Jun 2020, 10:33I agree that even people who aren't religious go through the stages.

Choosing the correct pathway always comes with challenges. Yet, if you remain in your chosen pathway, you will be given the strength to outcome your challenges, and then you have to help the others as wellAniza Butt wrote: ↑24 Jun 2020, 03:46 I am not a Christian but i know one thing that you have to face crisis when you take the path of God and if you keep on going, you are rewarded by God and then it's time to share what God has granted you.

Anyone can have a kind heart so that they can help others for no gain, expecting nothingJuliana_Isabella wrote: ↑24 Jun 2020, 18:24 I think this is an interesting way to look at life. I don't necessarily believe that this is how all Christians' lives are meant to go, as I know people who have helped others without experiencing a crisis personally.
