What is Christianity?
An introduction to the Christian faith
The love of God

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.

Begin with Who is God?, discover the life and teaching of Jesus Christ, learn about the Gospel and explore what it means to live as a Christian.

People, ideas and milestones from Protestant Christianity
Discover notable moments in the Protestant story and explore how the Bible, the Gospel and Christian service have shaped communities around the world.
Reformation

Martin Luther's Ninety-five Theses, traditionally dated to 31 October 1517, became an important catalyst of the Protestant Reformation.

The Bible in everyday language

Protestant reformers strongly promoted translating and reading the Bible in the languages spoken by ordinary people; Luther's German New Testament appeared in 1522.

A royal priesthood

The Protestant teaching commonly called the priesthood of all believers emphasizes that every Christian has direct access to God through Jesus Christ and is called to serve him (1 Peter 2:9; Hebrews 4:14–16).

Congregational song

The Reformation encouraged whole congregations—not only choirs or clergy—to sing. Luther wrote hymns, while Charles Wesley later composed thousands of hymn texts for the Methodist movement.

Global mission

The 1792 publication of William Carey's missionary appeal helped inspire the modern Protestant missionary movement; Carey later worked as a Bible translator and educator in India.

Many traditions, one historic center

Lutherans, Reformed Christians, Anglicans, Baptists, Methodists, Pentecostals and many evangelical churches differ in practice, yet historically affirm the unique saving work of Jesus Christ and the authority of Scripture.

Featured Article

Church History (G.G.)... Have you ever wondered why people are so intent on knowing which particular "brand" of Christianity a person belongs to? Have you ever wondered why there are so many Christian denominations? Although there is only one universal Christian Church, it is clear that there are hundreds of Christian denominations or churches. These denominations have formed and divided since the time of Christ, because Christians have had differences in beliefs and practices. Today, they can be grouped into 6 main groups, with some amount of overlap
