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.

August, 1 - Daily Devotions
August Scripture Portion for Bible Commentary : Isaiah 28 - Ezekiel 11, including the books of Jeremiah and Lamentations
Chapters 28--35 are often referred to as Volume Five and the Book of Woes preceding restoration glories.
Chapter 28 gives the woe against Ephraim. Verses 1-13 cover the judgment of the ten tribes; while the fate of Ephraim and the warning to Judah are given in verses 14-29.
In chapter 29:1 we see the Word "Ariel." This is a name for Jerusalem, which means "the lion of God." In this chapter Isaiah is prophesying that the nation would suddenly be overwhelmed. We will see in chapter 37:36 that this prophecy was fulfilled. All this happened despite Jerusalem's sacred character as the lion of God, because the people were only giving lip service to the Lord and were following men's commandments rather than the commandments of God. Because of their turning away from God, the Lord would encamp against them. He would besiege Jerusalem (verses 2 and 3) until the city was brought to the dust (verses 4 and 5). The Lord would then deal with Jerusalem's enemies (verses 5-10). Verses 11 and 12 give us the prophecy for the end-time. Verses 13-16 show the condition of the people as being one of religious blindness and empty formalism. Woe is pronounced upon those who think their dark deeds are hidden from the Lord.
We see in chapter 30 that the people again put their trust in man. They looked to Egypt for help, but in vain. The contempt of Jehovah, accompanied by refusal of the people to hearken to His Word, added yet more to their iniquity. God allowed the evil, but only in order to give free course to His grace. He allowed the chastisement to be fully accomplished, that nothing might be left for Him but perfect grace.
