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.

February, 2 - Daily Devotions
February Scripture Portion for Bible Commentary : Leviticus 4 - Deuteronomy 24 including the book of Numbers
Chapters 8 and 9 record the consecration of Aaron and his sons to the Priesthood. 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.
