Concepts Versus Experience

Post #1

Post by ThijsH »

Hi, I am pretty new here, glad to be here. I am a Christian, and I feel truly blessed because I also have experiences which prove to me that Jesus is alive and Christianity is the path to happiness.

Something I don’t really understand is that many Christians seem to settle for concepts, rather than praying for experiences of Grace, miracles, and feeling the Peace of God.

It is one thing to read the Bible and to agree on what we believe. It is quite another thing to experience a happiness that is not of this world, or people being healed when you lay hands and pray.

So I am just curious. Are you satisfied with concepts, or are you pursuing experiences? And if you go for the experiences, how do you make the leap from concept to experience?
Love and blessings,
Thijs Hottenhuis
