In a world where many people seem content with their lives—enjoying family, friends, and hobbies—why should anyone bother with religion? This question often arises, especially when people feel fulfilled without attending church or engaging in spiritual practices. Drawing from insights shared in a mission work in Australia (Roper), here are compelling reasons why religion, specifically Christianity, matters, even if you feel happy without it.

Some Christians do not understand that we are at war. That is because they can’t see the war with their physical eyes; they are blinded by the happenings of this world. For most folks, war means something where we might get an army and nukes together, and they go off to war while we sit here at home. But as Christians, we are all at war every day, Paul tells us in Ephesians 6:12, “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” This is not some conflict in some far off land, but it spans the whole universe. Since it is not a physical conflict, we do not use our earthly weapons in the fight that we Christians are all engaged in. Paul again wrote in 2 Corinthians 10:4 and 5 “…for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and…
Sometimes it’s difficult to deal with quiet. For most people, chaos, deadlines, managing multiple schedules, and being “so busy” are a way of life. And if we’re honest with ourselves, we like it. Busyness implies we are special and valued and the work we’re doing is necessary. And we have a desperate need to be valued.

Or you could be thinking of a verb for defeat in battle.
“Paul, a bond-servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for the faith of those chosen of God and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,” (Titus 1:1, NASB95)
We are a body of believers who are committed to the teaching of the Bible:
The apostle Paul often opens his letters with a prayer and with thanksgiving of the church he is writing to. However, in Galatians 1, we see Paul move away from the signature and write a scathing remark concerning the congregations condition.
Our world is always in a state of flux. One day it may be sunny, the next it will be raining. One day we are driving down the road with a smile on our face, the next we are in a car accident. Placing our hope, love, and priorities on a world that so often changes is a grave mistake, we are headed for misery and heartache if we do.
