Christianity is about our relationship with our Creator and God.............
Man used to enjoy a close relationship with God, his creator. Unfortunately, because of
man's sins, this relationship was broken. "...for all have sinned and fallen
short of the glory of God." (Romans 3 : 23) God is holy and just and He
cannot tolerate our sins.
Sin leads to death and eternal separation from God.
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is
eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6 : 23)
"Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face
judgement." (Hebrews 9 : 27)
But that is not the end of the story. God, besides being just and holy, is
also loving. He wants to solve the problem of sin in man and to be reconciled with him.
So, He sent His Son, Jesus, as a man to live with man on earth. Jesus lived a faultless
life on earth and then died on the Cross to pay for the consequence of sin in mankind.
He died so that we may live. His death also bridged the gap
between man and God. "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While
we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8) Three days after
Jesus' death, He arose from the dead.
Whoever confesses his/her sins and accepts Christ's gift of life or
salvation, is thus cleansed of their sins and reconciled with God. With this, we become
the children of God and have eternal life!
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith- and
this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can
boast." (Ephesians 2 : 8-9)
"Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his
name, he gave the right to become children of God." (John 1 : 12)
