What Can You Learn About Christianity Today?

By Nels Wild


Christianity. It is the religion that follows not just God, but also Jesus Christ and his teachings. Most people would commonly associate it with Catholicism and other religions revolving around God, but it's not always the case. In many ways, Christianity is different. That's why you have to know how to understand Christianity so you won't be confused or baffled on what it is in the world of religion. As mentioned previously, Christianity is a religion in which it doesn't just believe in God, but also in Jesus Christ along with his writings and teachings. It is almost like Catholicism, but its main focus is Jesus Christ.

Everything about Christianity revolves around Christ; from his birth to his death, from his miracles to his powers and so on and so forth. They have established something known as "Creeds" which are doctrinal confessions and main writings followed by Christians. The creed most followed in the present is the Apostle's Creed which is also used by Catholics. It establishes everything about Jesus such as "being conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary".

The Christian worships God according to how it was written. He doesn't do it in any other way; the way God said it should be done should be done that way. This shows that the true Christian is loyal and respectful of the Lord's intentions. Whatever happens to him in life: whether an unfortunate event occurred or a successful event was brought upon, the true Christian has faith in the God and Jesus. He believes it was meant to happen and as such believes that everything happens for a reason. A true Christian strives for a sin-free life. While this is hard to do, the true Christian will do his best to go for a sin-free life but not in a way that it will displease the Lord. He wants to do it accordingly so it still follows the principles of the Bible.

The views about salvation in Christian terms differ from other religions because they believe it can be pre-determined by God from the day they were born while other religions believe free will is necessary to attain salvation. Lastly, they see that all people are spiritual as seen by the concept of Trinity. In other religions, the Trinity is divided into Father, Son and Holy Spirit. But Christianity sees it as unified and therefore, everyone is fully a God.

The true Christian incorporates a Christian view in life. Whatever he does in life; be it a farmer, a salesman or a computer guy, he always puts everything in the perspective of a true Christian. These are the signs and marks of a true Christian. It may be hard to do for others, but with a diligence, perseverance and faith, even the most basic Christian can become a true Christian in no time.
