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.

May Scripture Portion for Bible Commentary : 1 Chronicles 7 - Job 11 including the books of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther
The second half of the Book of Nehemiah begins on the first day of the seventh month (chapter 8:2). The emphasis is now on the people of the city and their dedication to God. The material building was over. It was now time to begin to build the people spiritually.
In today's reading the proclamation of God's Word is given to the people. Ezra returned to Jerusalem to assist Nehemiah in the dedication of the walls and the sanctifying of the people. It is very significant that they gathered at the water gate, since this gate symbolizes the Word of God ( Ezra 3:26). The people had an appetite for the Word, for they asked Ezra to bring the Book and preach it. The Word of God was proclaimed throughout the land and, as the people obeyed, there was great gladness. The result of this meeting at the water gate, which was held daily for a week, was that it brought great conviction to the people.
On the 24th day of the month Ezra and the Levites led the people in confession and prayer for three hours. Chapter 10 gives us the names of the brave and Godly people who entered into the covenant with God that day. Little did they realize their names would be recorded eternally in God's Word.
