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 Scripture Portion for Bible Commentary : 1 Chronicles 7 - Job 11 including the books of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther
Chapter 32 records the invasion against Judah by Sennacherib, the king of Assyria. Note especially Hezekiah's encouragement to his soldiers as Sennacherib comes. He says, "Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him. With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the Lord our God to help us, and to fight our battles." When they received this message, "The people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.".
The words of the Lord brought comfort to the people of Judah. They believed their king, and they were not discouraged in the face of the enemy. Hezekiah did not want to fight the war against the Assyrian army but, in the face of discouragement, he sought the Lord's face, and God gave him the courage to fight the battle. He also gave him a message of encouragement for his people and, as we see in verse 21, the Assyrian army was destroyed.
The last verse of chapter 32 records Hezekiah's death. Chapter 33 records the idolatry of Manasseh and Amon, and their wicked rule. Many historians note that Manasseh was probably the most wicked king that ever ruled over Judah. Verses 1-10 of chapter 33 cover some of his wicked deeds; then his captivity and restoration (verses 11-13). His reform and death are covered in verses 14-20, and Amon began his rule in verse 21.
The reign of Josiah is recorded in chapter 34. He was only eight years of age when he became king, and he reigned 31 years. He is known as one of Judah 's best kings. He fought against idolatry and a great revival took place under his rule. This revival was greatly the result of finding the Mosaic Law which was lost during Manasseh's reign of terror.
