Well,
it’s not about a religion,
It’s not about going to church
on a Sunday,
It’s not about being a good
person,
It’s not about following a lot of
rules,
It’s not about some out-of-date ideals,
It’s not even about wearing sandals!
So what
is Christianity all about?
It’s
about Jesus Christ.
When
Jesus came to earth 2000 years ago he came with one purpose:
to die. We by our very nature – and
in all the wrong stuff we think and do – reject God.
He created us to be in a perfect relationship with Him,
but we turned our back on Him and tried to go our way.
God
is just, and so He has to punish our rejection of Him, but
Jesus, God’s Son, was perfect, and so he died in our
place taking punishment we deserve. He then rose again because
God accepted this substitution, and now we can be reconciled
to God and eternal life with Him in Heaven if we trust that
we can be forgiven because of Jesus’ death and let
Him rule over our lives.
Christianity
is all about Jesus Christ
John 14:6 – “Jesus answered, ‘I
am the way, the truth and the life.’ “
It isn’t
and old religion full of rules: it’s a radical way
of living, of experiencing true peace, happiness, and forgiveness
because of the death of Jesus.
Luke
9:20 – “But what about you, ‘he asked,
‘Who do you say I am?’ “
