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.

 Open Bible With A Rose
April, 16 - Daily Devotions
April Scripture Portion for Bible Commentary : 1 Samuel 30 - 1 Chronicles 6 including the books of 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, and 2 Kings
These chapters record the decline of Israel. Six kings are listed, beginning with Nadab and ending with Ahab, and all of them were evil. Nadab maintained his father's wicked idolatry and he was slain by Baasha during one of the battles with the Philistines. Baasha reigned for 24 years and fulfilled the prophecy that all of Jeroboam's seed would be destroyed. Elah reigned for less than two years and was killed by Zimri, who led the nation for only one week; but during that time he killed the entire family of Baasha and fulfilled the prophecy of Jehu. Zimri committed suicide by perishing in the blaze that was set to the palace as Omri marched against him. Omri then ruled over Israel for twelve years and led the people into further sin. Upon his death Ahab came to the throne and, under his leadership, the tribes declined further into idolatry and wickedness.
The tragedy of sin is that our children and grandchildren pay for our mistakes. Many men will say, "All the harm I do is to myself." This is not true. "No man liveth unto himself." When we sin, we hurt the Lord; we hurt our families; we hurt our children, grandchildren, and descendants for years to come. David and Solomon were responsible for the wickedness of Jeroboam and Rehoboam.
