[[Image:Cross sunrise.jpg|thumb|The [[cross]] representing a [[God]] who has redeemed us is central to [[Christianity]].]]The '''[[Essence of Christianity]]''' - [[Christianity]] is about [[God]] reaching out his hand in friendship to mankind. [[ChristianChristians]]s believe that the whole world and everything within the universe in it was created by [[creation|createdGod]] by God. God is a personal being, and by some mystery that we cannot understand, he a living God who is three, yet one: [[God the Father|Father]], [[Jesus|Son]] and [[Holy Spirit|Spirit]]. He created people in his image, to [[love]] him. Yet every person has rebelled against God. But instead of turning his back on us, God the Son, became a man, Jesus, and lived among us, dying because of us - the death that just as we should human beings have died. [[Death of Jesus|Jesus was crucified]] on a crossbody, but [[Resurrection of Jesus|he rose from mind and soul! (see the dead]], and now calls us to trust him, to love him and to [[repentTrinity]] of our rebellion. If we do this, then our relationship with God becomes restored, and God the Spirit lives within us, assuring us of the promise of everlasting life).

{{rightbox | text=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 [[Archives 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 Featured Contentrule. Most Christians however would agree that at its root, being a Christian means to be in a living relationship with [[Jesus Christ|Jesus]]}}.
