Nurturing Your Child’s Spirit
Assessing Childhood Faith
Is a relationship
with God desirable — or even possible? What do you do when your childhood faith system doesn’t seem to work for you as an adult? Rejecting your childhood faith is not the solution; understanding it, replacing the bad and keeping the good is the best way to learn and grow from the past.
Things to assess about your belief system:
- God: Does God exist? If so, is he all-powerful? All knowing? All good?
- Man: Is man created in the image of God? Did he evolve, like an animal? Or was he created higher than animals?
- Sin: What does the word mean? Is sin real? What makes something sin? If there is sin, what do you do about it? Are there consequences to sin?
- Afterlife: What is your view of eternity? Heaven? Hell?
- Salvation: If sin and eternity exist, how do we resolve this? How do we find salvation? Is it through good works? Is it through God? Are there other ways?
- Truth: What is truth? How do you know something is true?
- Society: What is our responsibility to others? What is our role in society?
