What is Christianity ?

Christians believe God is the creator of all things, and that his word is revealed to us through the Bible. He created mankind in order to love us and to have a relationship with us. He gave us a physical body, a mind, and a soul. He also gave us free will, allowing us to decide how to live out our lives.

Early mankind turned away from God, but God still loved them, and he continued to seek them out. Over the many years, God established relationships with individuals and the Israelite people. God promised that he would send a deliverer, a Messiah, who would set them free from the suffering, pain, and sin of this life. Out of God’s abounding love, he sent his only son Jesus into this world, to be the deliverer and the hope of ALL mankind, to sacrificially die for us and pay the debt of our sins.

Jesus was crucified for us, but he defeated death by his resurrection. Jesus instructed us to love one another, to serve and worship him, and to spread
his message of love and salvation to the world, until that time when he comes again to take his believers home to heaven for all of eternity.

All who turn from their sins and believe in Jesus as their savior will be reconciled
to God now and forevermore, living with him in heaven. This requires making a personal commitment of one’s life to Jesus Christ, God’s Son. God invites you to receive these gifts of forgiveness and eternal life today, through prayer. Then, be sure to tell another Christian friend of your decision, and join a Christian church where you can be nurtured in faith.
