Christianity is about God reaching out his hand in friendship to mankind. Christians believe that the whole world and everything in it was created by God. God is a personal being, a living God who is three, yet one: Father, Son and Spirit, just as we human beings have body, mind and soul! (see the Trinity). The Bible says God created people in his image, to love him. Yet every person has rebelled against God and sinned. Yet instead of turning his back on us, God became a man, Jesus, who most scholars believe was born about the year 4 BC and lived among us. He taught a message of love throughout Palestine but public opinion turned against him and he was executed as a young man. He died because of us - the death that we should have died. He was crucified on a cross, but 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 we our relationship with God becomes restored and we will live forever with God. Many non-Christians may think that being a Christian is about belonging to a particular church or following a certain set of rule. Most Christians however would agree that at its root, being a Christian means to be in a living relationship with Jesus.

God is the central being of all existence. He is eternal in that he has no beginning and no end. In the first chapter of the first book of Bible an account is given of God creating the universe and the earth and creating people in his own image. The Bible also reveals that God is full of mercy and love (for example 1 John 4:8. Millions of people in the world trust in God as their master and Lord and also their saviour. He is a personal being, who is three in one - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God stands ready to come into any person's life when that person acknowledges him and repents of having not lived his way. Character of God Although the mere existence of God can be deduced by natural reason his nature is beyond our understanding. He gives life to all and he is the author of love and forgiveness. John 1:4 describes this beautifully: In him was life, and the life was the light of men. Loving God One cannot describe God without first understanding His love for the humanity! For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16 If you truly believe in your heart, declare through your mouth and actions that the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins, you will receive Jesus as your Savior and Lord so you will be saved from judgment and spend eternity with God in heaven! GOD LOVES YOU! God Of Wonders! Holy God God is completely holy and without any evil. At the same time God is forgiving and merciful and full of love.

Prior to Moses' time, sacrifices were offered by heads of families. But the nation was now organized, a place set apart for sacrifice created, and a special group of men designated for the service. Aaron and his firstborn son, in succession, were High Priests. The Priesthood was maintained by the tithes of the Levites and parts of some sacrifices. The Levitical Priesthood was divinely ordained as mediator between God and the Hebrew nation in the ministry of animal sacrifices. Those sacrifices were fulfilled in Christ. Animal sacrifices are no longer necessary; neither are Priests. Christ Himself is the Great High Priest for man, the only Mediator between God and man (see Hebrews 8--10). Verses 31-36 of chapter 8 cover the sacrificial feast. The eating of the sacrifices and the bread, so frequently seen in the Levitical ritual, illustrates the necessity of believers feeding on the Word of God (see John 6:50-55). It is God's plan that His children feed upon His Word daily, in order that we might grow to spiritual maturity. We should read and meditate upon the Word of God daily; letting it become a part of our very being, living within us, bursting forth and giving joy and comfort to those with whom we come in contact. There is no substitute for Christ in the redemption of man. There is no substitute for the Word of God in the growth of a Christian.
