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
Whenever God wants to get a job done, He chooses a man who is willing. God cannot use a man who is not willing to serve!
The walls of Jerusalem had been ruined, a small remnant had returned, and there was much work that needed to be done. In 536 b.c., Zerubbabel and Joshua had taken 50,000 Jews back and had (by 516 b.c.) rebuilt the Temple. In 457 b.c., there had been a small revival under Ezra , but it was now 445 b.c., and God was looking for a man to go to the ruined city and restore safety and order. Nehemiah was to be that man. Notice how Nehemiah approached the work. He prayed for the work in chapter 1; he prepared for the work in chapter 2; he prospered in the work in chapter 3; and in chapter 4 he faced the enemy. Whenever a man of God is doing the work of God, there will always be opposition. Many times a man of weak faith and purpose will quit, but a man of strength and confidence will overcome the opposition and finish the task. Nehemiah was such a man.
In chapter 4 Nehemiah faces ridicule, discouragement, and fear; yet in face of opposition from within and without the city, he won the victory because he trusted in God. Satan would have loved to see Nehemiah leave the wall and get involved in a dispute with Sanballat, but Nehemiah did not fall into Satan's trap. He was truly a man following the leadership of God, for he paid very little attention to the complaining of the people. He just kept on building, watching, and praying!
