Religions give
people a view of how they are supposed to live to reach a certain end. This end
can become a new beginning in many religions. While on earth one of the most
powerful thing religions have is their concept of love. Love is a big part of
where someone goes when they reach the end. Buddhism and Christianity both use
love in their religious identity.
Buddhism and
Christianity have the idea of a true unending love. This love is supposed to be
unselfish. In both religion that have people who practice monastic life. In
this life, though you are not sharing your life with another through marriage,
you are still supposed to love others. Love is in these religions is important
because their founders spoke and practice love.
In Buddhism, love
is alive and ever growing. It continues to grow until everyone can feel the
love that you are giving out. Love and the person that you love will always be
there. Buddhists never regret the love that they are giving out and they
embrace love everyday. They believe that loving one person is a great
opportunity for you to love more. Because of love, sacrifices can happen and
your love becomes stronger. Love is something that can nourish you and others
and this nourishment of love should have no end.
In Christianity,
love begins and ends with God. In the Bible, John 3:16 states that God so loved
the world that he gave his son to die for us. This is the purest example of
true love. Jesus’ example of death is how we should love others. Love is the
desire to share in the life of Jesus. Instead of dying we care for others and
follow the commandments given to us in the Bible. Through love we can be like
Christ.
Love is very
important to religion. It can be practices in many ways such as the monastic
life and in being married. Love should never end but instead be continued and
spread to everyone. Love is alive and should be felt by all people. Giving love
to others should be unselfish and you should never regret loving someone. Love
is powerful and unending.
