I wanna know the basics of Christianity
There are four main parts to the most basic
theory of Christianity: 1. Man is sinful
2. We are separated from God because of our sin.
3. God sent his son Jesus Christ to earth to die for our sins.
4. Believing in Jesus is the only way to cross the divide between man and God.
To understand Christianity in a deeper way, read
more below: Christ's Person: Jesus
Christ claimed to be the unique son of God. He claimed, in essence that he was
God. He lived a completely sinless and selfless life to the point where he gave
his life by dying on a cross. Three days later he was resurrected from the dead.
He is all-loving and all-powerful. Man's
Need: As we said above, man is sinful because of original sin. We are sinful
by nature. The consequence of our sin is eternal death, unless we believe in and
form a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Christ's Work: Essentially by dying on the
cross, Jesus paid the eternal penalty for all those that would chose to believe
in him. God loved us so much that he sacrificed his own son so that we may know
him. Our salvation is found in Jesus, all you have to do is believe and ask him
to come into your life. Man's Response:
We each have to decide for ourselves if we are willing to believe in Jesus
and follow him with our whole lives. We are told that it will not be easy, but
that it will be more than worth it. If you would like to make a decision today,
please see our prayer page where we
have a suggestion prayer for salvation. Please contact us or talk to someone you know that is a
Christian if you are making this important decision today. Also, see our
resources page to find out where you can
get more information on God, Jesus and the Christian faith. |
