What is Christianity?| 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.

Who is God?| 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.
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!

The contrast between evil and goodness is continued in our reading today. God promises us that, "He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: but whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he" (chapter 16:20). The only lasting happiness known to mankind comes from knowing the Lord. That happiness gives peace in time of trouble and sorrow; comfort in the time of death of a loved one; and it offers an eternal home in heaven with Christ after this life is over.
Chapter 17:28 says, "He that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding." I have often heard this statement: "Keep your mouth closed and people may think you are a fool; but open your mouth and you remove all doubt." When you hear a person bragging about his accomplishments, they are only as the words you hear him say--you hear them one minute and they are gone the next. All of us should remember that the lips are exercised by words coming forth from the heart. We should carefully examine everything we say. Time is too short for foolish words. That same shortness of time should challenge and encourage us to use our tongue and lips to honor and glorify Jesus Christ, and to share with others what He has done in our lives.
