INTRODUCTION TO CHRISTIANITY

Christianity, being one of the most influential religions (having about 2.1 billion followers worldwide), began as a small sect of Judaism 2000 years ago. Christianity beliefs are based on the teachings of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who is sent to eath to save humanity of its sins. They believe that there is only one God and the most essential concept in Christianity is that Jesus gave his life on the Cross (the Crucifixion) and rising from the dead on the third day (the Resurrection). The teachings are based on the doctrine, the Holy Bible.

Christianity views our existence here on earth transient – “we are guests” in this world and “live in sin,” whereas our permanent abode is in the world beyond. The deceased now resides in a place of truth, while the living remain temporary guests on earth living in sin.
