Christ performed his atoning sacrifice for us to rely on him through faith , if you belive in the repenting doctrine that means we need to overcome our own sins to be closer to him . We also need to serve others too . Those two things helps us become less selfish.

@Fa8393 well blind faith is what hitlers followers, followed and look at all the people that died, many wars were a result of religon, you need to pull your head out of the bible and live in the real world. Christ isnt going to save the world from itself. I was brought up as a catholic with christian values, but at some point you still need to look at what goes on around us, wars in the middle east are all about religon who says either side is right or wrong, but killing is wrong it says so in the bible. so who is sinning which side is good and which is evil, in any war, or skimish. faith will only take you so far you also need to think for yourself as well. the teachings in most religon is out dated, lets read from scriptures that were created in a different era then interpret them how ever we see fit.. is this what we should be doing, how many homeless people need to die of starvation or povety reaches record levels in countries run by rich people, how is this right? once again quote some scripture and spout repent and your sins will be forgiven. please dont preach here unless your free of sin, and none of us are. these are my thoughts and you can take them or leave them as we are all entitled to an opinion just dont ram your opinion/religon down everyone elses throat.

@Fa8393 The Jesus character was just a scapegoat.
