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.

 Open Bible With A Rose
March, 11 - Daily Devotions
March Scripture Portion for Bible Commentary Deuteronomy 25 - 1 Samuel 29 including the books of Book of Joshua, Judges and Ruth
Joshua is commonly thought of as a great soldier, but our reading today depicts him as a good shepherd who has a loving concern for his sheep.
In chapter 23 Joshua calls all the leaders together, probably at Shiloh, for his farewell address to them. He wanted to instill in them a sincere devotion to the Lord. In his message he reviewed the past, reminding them of the wonders of the Lord, from the crossing of Jordan to that present day. Note how he gives God all the glory for what has been accomplished. The Lord fought all the battles; Joshua only divided the land!
Lastly, Joshua reminds the leaders of their present responsibilities as the people of God. What God would do for the people depended on what His people did for Him. Joshua's main concern was that Israel be a separated people and not mingle with the heathen nations.
Following Joshua's message to the leaders, he calls all the people together at Shechem for a final appeal to them before his death. He is concerned that they might lapse into idolatry because of the influence of the heathen nations around them. They were already prone to worship idols, and Joshua knew that idolatry would cause them to forfeit their inheritance. He encourages them to devote their all to the Lord, by reminding them of God's past goodness, of his own faithfulness, of the danger of discipline if they are disobedient, and of the covenant God had made with Israel at Mt. Sinai.
