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.

January, 23 - Daily Devotions
January Scripture Portion: Genesis 1 - Leviticus 3 including the book of Exodus.
As Israel followed the leading of the Lord, they entered into different experiences and trials; and these experiences helped them to understand themselves better, as well as to understand the power and grace of God. There are three such experiences recorded in chapters 17 and 18.
In verses 1-7 of chapter 17 we read of the water coming forth from the rock. When Moses, through faith, smote the rock as he had been instructed to do, water came forth to quench the thirst of the murmuring Jews. The Jews criticized Moses and murmured against God, and Moses turned to God in this hour of trial. When Moses carried out God's instructions, the needs of the people were met.
In our daily trials and tribulations, God will meet our needs if we are willing to go to Him, seek His guidance, and follow His divine instructions. Too many Christians today are spiritual pygmies. They never feed upon the Word of God, and it is, therefore, impossible for them to be equipped to face the world and all its problems.
