What does God expect us to do for other cultures and faiths?

God, Faith, and culture. These three words or concepts define each other. To believe in God and his presence we need faith and a culture that reflects upon the teachings of God. To be faithful means to love God and trust him without any doubts in their own cultural ways. Having a unique and a strong culture means to have a culture that either is based upon God and faith or something that reflects upon it. All three of these words build upon each other and enhance each words connotation that underlies them. Back to the question, God expects us to accept other cultures and faiths, and identify that there are other religion that coexists in this world with the word of God.


I believe the main thing that God expects us to do is to help bring out the best of each culture and faith by introducing to them the truth. The truth and understanding about the origin of the world, people, and every little thing that exists upon this magnificent Earth. God also want to save each culture by saving each and every one of those people. To make this wish or goal to happen we need to as Christians go out into the world and preach the salvation Jesus has brought 2000 years ago. It is our need to enlighten those with the meaning that lies upon the symbol of the cross, and blood of Jesus. It is our path that needs to bring the concept of eternity with the Creator in the life after death. Finally it is our duty to teach to the other cultures the true depth of everlasting love from God which they were not exposed to in the shallow world they are living in.
