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
In Genesis 12:1-3 God promised to make Abraham's name great, if he would carefully follow the Lord. Abraham did follow the Lord; and now, after 4,000 years, every Monday school child knows about Abraham.
I Chronicles 14:16 says, "David therefore did as God commanded him." I believe that was the reason for David's success, the reason for his prosperity. God has a blueprint for successful living. Joshua 1:8 tells us, "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein; for then thou shalt make they way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.".
The Bible contains everything we need for success in our Christian lives. The program for both the successful family and church is found in the Word of God. That is why we invite you and others to read with us through the Bible each year. I trust your reading is proving to be a blessing in your life and home.
