''In brief'': Christianity is the world's most widely practiced religion, with around 2 billion adherents (although many may claim to be Christian without having actually received the message). Christians believe in eternal life with [[God]] in heaven through [[Jesus Christ]], and living a moral life on earth. Most Christians agree that at its root, being a Christian means to be in a living relationship with Jesus Christ. Christianity is divided into many groups that differ on many key issues. These are called [[denomination]]s. Today, the Christian church faces many issues. There is a great number of people who have not heard the good news of Jesus. Also, billions of people live in terrible poverty without clean water or the opportunity for good health. If we are to truly follow in the footsteps of Jesus, then these are issues that should be close to our heart too. In the West, issues to do with the role of women in the church and marriage and sexuality have come to forefront in recent years.
