What is Christianity?
An introduction to the Christian faith
The love of God

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.

Begin with Who is God?, discover the life and teaching of Jesus Christ, learn about the Gospel and explore what it means to live as a Christian.

Did you know?
People, ideas and milestones from Protestant Christianity
Discover notable moments in the Protestant story and explore how the Bible, the Gospel and Christian service have shaped communities around the world.
Reformation

Martin Luther's Ninety-five Theses, traditionally dated to 31 October 1517, became an important catalyst of the Protestant Reformation.

The Bible in everyday language

Protestant reformers strongly promoted translating and reading the Bible in the languages spoken by ordinary people; Luther's German New Testament appeared in 1522.

A royal priesthood

The Protestant teaching commonly called the priesthood of all believers emphasizes that every Christian has direct access to God through Jesus Christ and is called to serve him (1 Peter 2:9; Hebrews 4:14–16).

Congregational song

The Reformation encouraged whole congregations—not only choirs or clergy—to sing. Luther wrote hymns, while Charles Wesley later composed thousands of hymn texts for the Methodist movement.

Global mission

The 1792 publication of William Carey's missionary appeal helped inspire the modern Protestant missionary movement; Carey later worked as a Bible translator and educator in India.

Many traditions, one historic center

Lutherans, Reformed Christians, Anglicans, Baptists, Methodists, Pentecostals and many evangelical churches differ in practice, yet historically affirm the unique saving work of Jesus Christ and the authority of Scripture.

Explore an important subject from the Christian faith
Selected articles highlight the Bible, Jesus Christ, theology, Church history, ministry and the worldwide Christian community.

Featured Article

Church History (G.G.)... Have you ever wondered why people are so intent on knowing which particular "brand" of Christianity a person belongs to? Have you ever wondered why there are so many Christian denominations? Although there is only one universal Christian Church, it is clear that there are hundreds of Christian denominations or churches. These denominations have formed and divided since the time of Christ, because Christians have had differences in beliefs and practices. Today, they can be grouped into 6 main groups, with some amount of overlap

Recent featured articles: The Crucifixion of Jesus Christ (quotes); A Biography of Saint Peter; One solitary life; Becoming a Christian

Man With Cross At Sunset


October, 19 - Daily Devotions

October Scripture Portion: Matthew chapter 1 - Luke chapter 22 including the Gospel according to Mark.

Chapter 13 contains "signs of the end." Jesus was with His disciples, and was warning them of the things that were ahead for them. His first warning was against deceivers (verse 6). He then warned them that they would endure punishment because of Him. He gave them signs to look for prior to His second coming.

As we read this chapter, we know that many of the prophecies concerning Jesus' second coming have been fulfilled. There truly are wars and rumors of wars. There is nation rising against nation. There are deceivers on every hand; probably more today than ever before. Through the means of Gospel-preaching churches, television, radio, the printed page, and missionaries in all parts of the world, the Gospel has been made available to practically all nations. Truly the coming of the Lord is near. What should this mean to you and me? Each of us should review our own standing before the Lord. Are we really living in a way that would be pleasing to Him if He should return today? Are we burdened and concerned about others? Are we sharing His wonderful plan of salvation with those around us? Jesus tells us, in verse 33, "Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is." When He comes, He wants to find us watching and working--not sleeping!

Chapter 14 records the plot of the chief priests against Jesus. In verse 10 we read of the conspiracy of Judas, and Peter's denial is foretold in verses 26-31. One of the most moving parts of the chapter is verses 32-42, when Jesus came to Gethsemane to pray. These verses tell of His agonizing in the Garden concerning His death on the cross. Peter, James, and John were unconcerned and unaware of the importance of the hour. I wonder whether we are truly concerned about the things of our Lord; or are we, too, slumbering and sleeping when we should be serving? How much do we really love Him? How much are we willing to do for Him? He gave His all for us. There is nothing more important than serving Him in spirit and in truth.


MEMORY VERSE FOR TODAY: Man now can be: Forgiven. Acts 13:38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins.
