| 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.

Featured Bible passage

- Jesus wept.
"Jesus wept" is the shortest verse in the Bible. It is also one of the most beautiful and emotive. Lazarus, a friend of Jesus, had just died and so, having arrived at his tomb and seeing the pain and suffering that human sin and death bring, Jesus simply wept.

Wikichristian Server upgrade
Wikichristian is growing everyday, thanks to many dedicated users like you that believe in this project. With the growth, the site has outgrown our dedicated server's capacity. We have bought a newer and better server with aplus.net, our host and have successfully migrated the site to the new server with help from our good friend and techie Raja in Washington DC. With this upgrade, we will have plenty of server capacity and memory to accomodate for future growth. Thank you all for your understanding and participation in this project. God bless wikichristian.
