Christianity (from the Greek. – “the anointed”, “Messiah”) is a doctrine based on faith in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus is the Son of God, the Messiah, God and Savior of man (the Greek word Christ means the same as the Jewish Messiah).
Christianity is the most numerous belief in the world, in which there are three main directions: Catholicism, Orthodoxy and Protestantism.
The first Christians by nationality were Jews, and in the second half of the first century Christianity became an international religion. The language of communication among the first Christians was Greek. From the point of view of the Ministers of worship, the main and only reason for the emergence of Christianity was the preaching activity of Jesus Christ, who was both God and man. Jesus Christ in the form of a man came to earth and brought the Truth to people. His coming (this accomplished coming is called the first, as opposed to the second, the future) is told in four books, the Gospels, which are included in the new Testament of the Bible.
The Bible is a God-inspired book. It is also called the Holy Scripture and the Word of God. All books of the Bible are divided into two parts. The books of the first part, taken together, are called the old Testament, the second part the New Testament. For a person, the Bible is more a guide in everyday practical life, in business, education, career, life, and not a book about any restrictions, about the past and the future. The Bible can be read in any period of his life, in any mood, finding answers to literally all the exciting questions and requests of the soul. Christianity does not deny material goods and speaks about the harmony of spirit and matter.
Man, according to the Christian teaching, is created in the image and likeness of God and endowed with free will, is originally perfect, but having eaten the fruit, he has sinned. Having repented and been baptized with water and the Holy Spirit, a person gains hope for the resurrection. The soul is to be resurrected, not the body.
Christianity is a monotheistic belief in one God. God is one in three incarnations: God the Father, God the Son, and the Holy spirit. God gives man grace and mercy. God is love, we read in the Bible. Jesus always talked to everyone about love. A whole Chapter in Corinthians is devoted to love.
Jesus showed us what love is for people. Life in love is another life. Everything that Jesus did, he tried to reach out to the person, and the responsibility for whether this love will be revealed lies with the person himself. God gives life to man and then he chooses how to live. The desire to please someone is the beginning of love. Touching the love of God, a person will fall and stand up, he will demonstrate strength. The power of a person’s faith is determined by the power of love. It is the love spoken of in the Bible that provides strength, loyalty, and ingenuity. Love and faith can make a person smile when there is no reason to. If a person is driven by love, he is ready to do everything possible and impossible. Love is an abyss that cannot run out and never ends.
