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.

 Woman Praying In The Evening
August, 8 - Daily Devotions
August Scripture Portion for Bible Commentary : Isaiah 28 - Ezekiel 11, including the books of Jeremiah and Lamentations
Isaiah 55 is God's invitation to all the world to enter His Kingdom and share His blessings.
In chapter 56 God reminds us that "happy is the man that keeps his judgment and does justice." Verse 7 says, "Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called a house of prayer for all people.".
Chapters 56:9--58:14 record the sins that were being committed in Isaiah's day. The people were guilty of profaning the Sabbath. Gluttony of Israel's leaders, and idolatry, with all its vile practices, were very prevalent. The sins of the wicked rulers of Israel were denounced in chapter 56:9-2; while the sins of the wicked population are denounced in chapter 57:1-13. Judgment for the wicked and mercy for the repentant are recorded in verses 14-21.
Chapter 58 presents false worship versus true worship. The hypocritical worship and sins of Israel are given in verses 1-5. True worship is outlined in verses 6 and 7, and again the promise for those that repent is given in verses 8-14.
Chapter 59 prophesies of the coming of the Redeemer to Zion. Verses 1-8 speak of Israel's unbelief and sin in the last days, and verses 9-15 cover their confession in the last days. God graciously intervenes in their behalf (verses 16-19), judging and punishing the wicked. Verses 20 and 21 prophesy of Christ's appearance in person for the salvation of them who turn from sin.
