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.

May, 16 - Daily Devotions

May Scripture Portion for Bible Commentary : 1 Chronicles 7 - Job 11 including the books of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther

Chapters 29 and 30 record the reign of Hezekiah. The people of God had gone through a long spiritual famine. King after king had gone in the ways of idolatry and sin. But suddenly Hezekiah, the son of Ahaz, appears on the scene. Like a fresh breath of God's air, revival immediately begins to sweep the nation. Why? Verse 2 of chapter 29 tells us, "And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that David his father had done." In the records of most of the former kings, this phrase is missing. But it shows that Hezekiah followed the ways of David, the man after God's own heart. His father, Ahaz, had shut up the doors of the house of the Lord. The first thing Hezekiah did was open the doors and repair them. And notice that he did this in the very first month of his reign. He acted with haste. There was no delay in his dealing with sin. He realized that all revival must begin at the house of God. Verse 36 of chapter 29 says, "And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.".

Chapter 30 also records the observance of the Passover. There is rejoicing in all of Israel. True worship was restored and great offerings were brought. God blessed all the efforts of Hezekiah.

In chapter 31 we read, "And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered." Hezekiah was a man dedicated to serving God with all his heart. Note particularly in chapter 31 that he rooted out idolatry and restored the Temple ritual.
