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.

Devotion Of The Day

Public domain open bible


April, 18 - Daily Devotions

April Scripture Portion for Bible Commentary : 1 Samuel 30 - 1 Chronicles 6 including the books of 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, and 2 Kings

King Ahab has gone down in history as the most wicked king ever to rule Israel. His wife, Jezebel, ruled him from behind the scenes and saw to it that the worship of Baal was made the official religion of the land. Ahab sold himself to work evil and in today's reading we see his sins and his final judgment.

Chapter 20 presents Ahab's defense. In verses 1-12 he was challenged by the king of Syria, who was assisted by 32 other kings. The Lord intervenes to save King Ahab and his people, even though Ahab did not deserve being saved. Finally, in verses 31-43 Satan accomplishes his mission as he leads Ahab into a wicked compromise with the enemy.

Chapter 21 records Ahab's deception as he desired the vineyard of Naboth. How terrible that lust and greed brought death to an innocent man, just to satisfy King Ahab and his wicked wife.

In reality, King Ahab was a great soldier who could have led Israel to victory and peace had he followed the Lord in truth; but his alliance with Baal worship and the evil influence of his Godless wife brought him defeat. Ahab did experience the goodness of God in the military victories, yet refused to submit himself to the Law. He humbled himself outwardly when judgment was announced, and even then received a stay of execution, but his shallow repentance did not last. The years of drought and the great demonstration of God's glory on Mt. Carmel did not soften his hard heart. He heart one of the greatest prophets of the Old Testament and yet did not repent! His 22 years of reign only led the nation farther away from God. Proverbs 29:1 tells us, "He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy."
