| Christianity |
It’s much more than a
religion. it’s a personal relationship with Jesus
Christ. It’s “The Church” - the group
of people who believe the Bible and its claim that eternity
with God is only possible because of the life, death,
and resurrection of Jesus. Christianity is the body that
God works through to show His love on earth. It’s
the responsibility to keep the greatest commandment: Love
God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength, and
love your neighbor as yourself (Luke 10: 25-28). Christianity
is the practice of love. At least, it’s supposed
to be, according to 1 John 4:7-10.
A monotheistic system of beliefs and practices based on
the Old Testament and the teachings of Jesus, and emphasizing
the role of Jesus as savior and the collective body of
Christians throughout the world and history.
CHRISTIANITY IS AT LEAST
3 THINGS
1. A set of beliefs.
2.
A way of life.
3. A community of
people.

| THE ESSENTIALS OF
CHRISTIANITY |
By God's grace, Jesus Christ
- Who is fully God and fully man - was sent
to save us from our bondage to sin. We believe
that Christ was born of a virgin, died for our
sins, physically rose from the dead, and will
one day return to judge the world and deliver
His people. Faith in Christ is the only means
by which mankind can escape eternal damnation
and judgment. Finally, we recognize the church
as God's ordained institution headed by Christ.
The church is composed of all believers, and
is organized for worship, for fellowship, for
the administration of the sacraments, for spiritual
growth and support, and for evangelizing the
world.
We hear a lot of discussion about essentials
and non-essentials, but what are the essentials
of Christianity? When we talk about the essentials
of Christianity we're referring to the basic
elements that make up and characterize our faith,
and which, of course, separate it from other
beliefs. Let's survey these doctrines First,
we believe in the authority of Scripture, which
is another way of saying that the Bible is God's
inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word. It's
the ultimate source for knowledge about God,
as well as the definitive guide for our daily
lives
Christianity also hold that man is a physical
and spiritual being who is created in God's
image. But because of his sin or transgression,
man has lost his fellowship with God. The extent
of sin is so great that its effects continue
to this very day in the form of cruelty, sickness,
suffering, and death
