{{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]]}}.
