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.

God is the central being of all existence. He is eternal in that he has no beginning and no end. In the first chapter of the first book of Bible an account is given of God creating the universe and the earth and creating people in his own image. The Bible also reveals that God is full of mercy and love (for example 1 John 4:8. Millions of people in the world trust in God as their master and Lord and also their saviour. He is a personal being, who is three in one - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God stands ready to come into any person's life when that person acknowledges him and repents of having not lived his way. Character of God Although the mere existence of God can be deduced by natural reason his nature is beyond our understanding. He gives life to all and he is the author of love and forgiveness. John 1:4 describes this beautifully: In him was life, and the life was the light of men. Loving God One cannot describe God without first understanding His love for the humanity! For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16 If you truly believe in your heart, declare through your mouth and actions that the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins, you will receive Jesus as your Savior and Lord so you will be saved from judgment and spend eternity with God in heaven! GOD LOVES YOU! God Of Wonders! Holy God God is completely holy and without any evil. At the same time God is forgiving and merciful and full of love.

David's greatest test of faith was not when he faced Goliath, but when he had to serve daily in Saul's court. These chapters explain how he was moved from being Saul's favorite to Saul's foe. The main issue is David's faith and we can see how this man of God all but lost his confidence in God because of the trials that came to his life. The love between David and Jonathan was beautifully silhouetted against the dark background of Saul's demonic jealousy and his base treachery toward David with regard to his daughters, Merah and Michal. However, Michal did become David's wife, in spite of the trap set for David in arranging the marriage. It is unfortunate that David married Michal, for the union was never a happy one. David lost her to another man while he was in exile, but gained her back when he started to reign at Hebron. However, he attitude toward David led to a complete separation later on. Saul's plan to murder David is no longer a secret, for now the servants are commanded to slay him. Saul even tried to get Jonathan to kill him. Then the deranged king, in spite of his oath to Jonathan, was overwhelmed by his mania and tried to pin David to the wall with his javelin. Michal saved David's life and he fled to Samuel. This was perhaps the wisest move David made, for Samuel would be able to pray for him and counsel him. Note that Samuel defeated Saul, not with lies or weapons but with the Spirit of God! By using spiritual weapons Samuel delayed Saul and gave David opportunity to get away.
