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

Lotus Flowers


March, 19 - Daily Devotions

March Scripture Portion for Bible Commentary Deuteronomy 25 - 1 Samuel 29 including the books of Book of Joshua, Judges and Ruth

The events in the Book of Ruth take place during the days of the judges, but what a difference we see! Instead of violence and lawlessness, it is filled with tenderness, love, and sacrifice. The book is placed between Judges and Samuel for a definite reason. Judges shows the decline of the Jewish nation; while Samuel shows the setting up of the Jewish kingdom. Ruth pictures Christ and His bride, for during this present age Christ is calling for His bride from among the Gentiles and the Jews.

Elimelech, Naomi, and their two sons Mahlon and Chilion, a Bethlehem family, went to live in Moab because of famine in their land. The Moabites were descendants of Lot; thus distantly related to the Jews. However, the Moabites worshiped idols. The two sons married Moabite women (Ruth and Orpah) while living there, and after ten years the father and both sons had died. Ruth , with a burst of devotion of superb beauty, returned to Bethlehem with Naomi.

Boaz was the son of Rahab, the Jericho Canaanitish harlot (see our March 4 lesson). Thus David's great grandmother was a Moabite and his great grandfather half Canaanite--outside blood to form the chosen family within the chosen nation.

This book begins with a funeral and ends with a wedding! It opens with famine and closes with fullness. Ruth 's love for her mother-in-law, and her willingness to obey the Word, brought her into joy and blessing. The decision she made in chapter 1 to return to Bethlehem with Naomi determined her future.

Certainly Boaz is a picture of Christ, our Kinsman-Redeemer. Christ took upon Him our flesh (without sin, of course), that He might redeem us. He paid the price, and He did it because He loved us. Like Boaz, He is the Lord of the Harvest; He supplies our needs; He redeems the inheritance for us; He gives us rest.
