{{overview}}===[[Jesus]]===
{{topics}}* Jesus Christ is the central figure that separates [[Christianity]] from other religions. Christians believe that he is both [[God]] | and a man; that he created the world and mankind, and that he is alive today. He was born around the 4 BC and grew up in Judea (current day Palestine) where he taught about God's [[love]] and the [[repentance]] of [[Jesussin]]. * ===[[Becoming a Christian]]=== * To become a [[Becoming Christian]], a Christianperson must believe in his heart and confesses that [[Jesus Christ]] | is [[GraceLord]]* . When he accepts the fact that he has disobeyed [[Living God]], but also accepts Jesus' death on the cross as punishment for his [[sin]]s, that person has become a Christian. [[Ephesians 1:7]] in the [[New Testament]] shows that forgiveness of sins are through Jesus: ''{{Bible verse|Ephesians|1| 7|lang=WEB}}'' There are many biblical passages that show that belief, or faith, in Jesus Christ is what brings life to people. Faith in Jesus is ultimately what makes a person a Christian. Perhaps the most famous of these verses is [[LoveJohn 3:16]] : ''{{Bible verse|John|3| 16|lang=WEB}}'' ===[[WorshipLiving as a Christian]]===
