[[Christian]]s believe that the everything within the universe was [[creation|created]] by God. God is a personal being, and by some mystery that we cannot understand, he is three, yet one: [[God the Father|Father]], [[Jesus|Son]] and [[Holy Spirit|Spirit]]. He created people in his image, to [[love]] him. Yet every person has rebelled against God. But instead of turning his back on us, God the Son, became a man, Jesus, and lived among us, dying because of us - the death that we should have died. [[Death of Jesus|Jesus was crucified]] on a cross, but [[Resurrection of Jesus|he rose from the dead]], and now calls us to trust him, to love him and to [[repent]] of our rebellion. If we do this, then our relationship with God becomes restored, and God the Spirit lives within us, assuring us of the promise of an everlasting boner.<br /> <br /> ----<br /> __TOC__<br /> {{topics}}<br /> * [[God]] | [[Jesus]]<br /> * [[Christian]]<br /> * [[Becoming a Christian]] | [[Grace]]<br /> * [[Living as a Christian]] | [[Love]] | [[Worship]]<br /> <br /> {{opinions}}<br /> <br /> [[Salvation (justforcatholics.org)]]<br /> <br /> [[How to be saved (Compass)]]<br /> <br /> [[Essential Christian doctrines (anon)]]<br /> <br /> ==Main article==<br /> <br /> [[Christianity]] is about [[God]] reaching out his hand in friendship to mankind. [[Christian]]s believe that the everything within the universe was [[creation|created]] by God. God is a personal being, and by some mystery that we cannot understand, he is three, yet one: [[God the Father|Father]], [[Jesus|Son]] and [[Holy Spirit|Spirit]]. He created people in his image, to [[love]] him. Yet every person has rebelled against God. But instead of turning his back on us, God the Son, became a man, Jesus, and lived among us, dying because of us - the death that we should have died. [[Death of Jesus|Jesus was crucified]] on a cross, but [[Resurrection of Jesus|he rose from the dead]], and now calls us to trust him, to love him and to [[repent]] of our rebellion. If we do this, then our relationship with God becomes restored, and God the Spirit lives within us, assuring us of the promise of everlasting life.<br /> <br /> The good news of Jesus, or the [[gospel]], is summarized in [[1 Corinthians 15]]. This passage is a simple statement that gives a portrait of what the essence of Christianity is - forgiveness through Jesus Christ.<br /> : {{web_verse|1 Corinthians|15|3}}<br /> : {{web_verse|1 Corinthians|15|4}}<br /> <br /> ===[[Jesus]]===<br /> <br /> Jesus Christ is the central figure that separates [[Christianity]] from other religions. Christians believe that he is both [[God]] and a man; that he created the world and mankind, and that he is alive today. He was born around the 4 BC and grew up in Judea (current day Palestine) where he taught about God's [[love]] and the [[repentance]] of [[sin]]. <br /> <br /> ===[[Becoming a Christian]]===<br /> <br /> To become a [[Christian]], a person must believe in his heart and confesses that [[Jesus Christ]] is [[Lord]]. When he accepts the fact that he has disobeyed [[God]], but also accepts Jesus' death on the cross as punishment for his [[sin]]s, that person has become a Christian. [[Ephesians 1:7]] in the [[New Testament]] shows that forgiveness of sins are through Jesus<br /> : {{web_verse|ephesians|1|7}}<br /> <br /> There are many biblical passages that show that belief, or faith, in Jesus Christ is what brings life to people. Faith in Jesus is ultimately what makes a person a Christian. Perhaps the most famous of these verses is [[John 3:16]]<br /> : {{web_verse|john|3|16}}<br /> <br /> ===[[Living as a Christian]]===<br /> <br /> When we become a [[Christian]], we are called to live for [[God]] in every aspect of our lives. He brings us into a relationship of [[love]] with him and with other Christians and calls us to live for him fully, obeying him and trusting in him completely.<br /> <br /> ==Quotes==<br /> <br /> ==Links==<br /> <br /> {{returnto}} [[Christianity]]</div>
