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
Jehoshaphat reigned as king of Judah for some 25 years, from 874 to 850 b.c. He is an example of one who sought the Lord in all things and because of it was a very great king. He sent priests and Levites on regular circuits, teaching the Book of the Law to the people. He established courts of justice throughout the land and maintained a vast army. He made one serious mistake by allying himself with Ahab. We touched on this briefly yesterday. However, Jehoshaphat did not wilt under the rebuking of Jehu, but rather learned a lesson and became stronger than ever before in the Lord. He had faith in the power of prayer, as we can see in chapter 20:1- 13. His prayer was that the Lord would deliver them from the Moab- Ammon invasion. God granted his request and Judah triumphed over the invading armies. Notice Jehoshaphat's confidence in chapter 20:20 as he spoke to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, "Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.".
Throughout the history of Israel, when God's leaders led the people to follow the Word of the Lord, they always prospered. It is still true today! When Christians follow God's leadership, He will reward them, He will bless them, and He will prosper them. God says, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." Won't you join with me today in claiming this verse anew, committing every thought, word, and deed to God and His leadership? He promises to bless us, and He has never failed to keep His promise.
