Personal Reflection

As you proceed through this lesson have the following question in mind.
Reflect on some of the major world religions and their beliefs about life and death. Compare these with what Christ taught about life and death. Emphasize that only Christianity teaches that eternal life is a gift from God, through belief in Jesus. All other religions teach that eternal life must be achieved by following rules and doing specific things. For instance: Hinduism: teaches the system of karma, where all a person’s good and bad deeds are recorded and these determine what the person will become in his or her next incarnation. Buddhism: teaches an intricate system of rules and regulations that can require a lifetime to master. Islam: teaches a system of salvation by good deeds and ardent devotion. Mormonism: teaches that people may reach the status of God by being good Mormons.
