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.

July Scripture Portion for Bible Commentary : Psalms 103 - Isaiah 27 including the books of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and Song of Songs
Psalm 103 is a Psalm of David. In it David gives thanks for all God has done for him. God does the same for you and me as He did for David. He forgives our iniquities, heals our diseases, regains our lives from destruction, gives us food and nourishment, judges our enemies--and He does it all with lovingkindness and tender mercy. The Lord is merciful and gracious and slow to anger. Thanks be to Him that He has not dealt with us according to our sins, but in loving mercy.
I believe Psalm 103 is one of the greatest Psalms written by David. In it David captures some of the greatness of God. WE Should read it often as a constant reminder of what God has done for us.
Psalm 104 is a continuation of David's praise for God. Again in this chapter David had great insights into the greatness of God. He knew God laid the foundations of the earth (verse 5). He knew God caused the grass to grow to feed the cattle, and the herbs to grow for the service of man (verse 14).
Psalm 105 deals particularly with God's mercies to Israel. The final regathering and restoration of that nation can be seen in verses 1-9 (cf. Deuteronomy 30:1-10); their liberation from bondage in verses 10-16; and their praise for God and His deliverance in verses 33-43.
