Who is Christ? Define Christianity?
Define Christianity?
Christianity is not a religion. People may go to church, but it doesn't mean that Christianity is found in a church building. It is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and this relationship is borne out in the believer in their lives when they produce fruit. Pastors and others at church may deepen your walk with Christ, but no person or thing should be used as a substitute for Christ.
Who is Jesus? Who is God?
Jesus is the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy and the ultimate means by which God intends to reconcile with man. Jesus came to earth, lived among humanity, was crucified for our sins as a sinless sacrifice, and rose again on the 3rd day. Currently, Jesus is alive and seated in Heaven at the right hand of God the Father, and together with Him and the Holy Spirit, they make the Triune God (3 in 1).
What is Christianity about?
One core message of Christianity is that there are not multiple ways to God and the divine, as believed by some, but only through Jesus Christ. Another core message of Christianity is that Salvation cannot be earned, it is a Gift freely given by Christ to those who would believe that He died for our sins, confess their sins, and accept Him as Lord and Savior. Christianity distilled into one key law is "love your neighbor as yourself". As part of the Great Commission, Christians are also called to share their faith and make disciples for Christ, and teach others to obey the commands of Christ. Christians believe that Jesus Christ after His death and Resurrection started the Church Age, after which during the Last Days Jesus will return to the Earth and claim it as His own.
A Quick Prayer to accept Jesus
I've prayed a variation of this prayer many many times since Jesus saved me even though I'm not a "new" Christian, and I pray it again from time to time just as someone renews their marriage vows, and it never ceases to amaze me as a reminder of what Jesus did for me.
"Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins and surrender my life. Write my name in the Lamb's Book of Life. Wash me clean. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. That He died on the cross for my sins and rose again on the third day. I believe that in my heart and make confession with my mouth, that Jesus is my Savior and Lord and ask for Him to come into my life and reveal Himself to me in ways I could never imagine. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen."
