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.

August Scripture Portion for Bible Commentary : Isaiah 28 - Ezekiel 11, including the books of Jeremiah and Lamentations
Chapter 32:1-25 records Jeremiah's strong faith in the restoration. It was the year before Jerusalem fell. The burning of the city and desolation of Judah was almost at hand. Amid the gloom and despair of the hour, Jeremiah was commanded of God to purchase land in Anathoth. It was to be purchased in public ceremony, and the deed was to be put away for safe keeping. This would emphasize Jeremiah's prediction that the captives would return, and the land would again be cultivated.
In verses 26-44 the fate of the doomed city was announced, and the future final regathering, of which the restoration from Babylon was a foreshadowing, was declared.
Chapter 33 repeats the testimony of the blessings that will come to the children of Israel. In spite of all the people had to do, and no matter how deep their problems might have been the promise is given that the Lord will never cast off Jacob nor his servant, David. For all intents and purposes, and from the world's viewpoint, the nation of Israel went down doomed and destroyed. But God, in His infinite mercy, restored them to their land because He loved them.
