What Advantage is it to be a Christian?

In this life, the Christian experiences God's love, forgiveness, and guidance through his Word and the Holy Spirit. Christians are afforded peace and hope, freedom from fear and worry, and direction for a life that pleases God. (Romans 8:14-17) The Christian also enjoys the blessings of a supportive community of fellow believers and their God-given gifts (Romans 12:3-8). And most significantly, Christians have the hope of salvation through faith, the assurance of eternal life in the presence of God, where there is no more sin, pain, or suffering but great joy as we worship the Lord forever (Romans 8:38-39). 

Being a Christian is of the greatest advantage, but a single event, action, or moment doesn't give us the full enjoyment and blessing of this advantage. Instead, the Christian lives a specific lifestyle as directed by God, and it is by this life that the Christian truly walks in the blessings of the Lord.
