Christianity?

What is Christianity all about?

Christianity is the world’s biggest religion, and yet many people don’t know very much about it. If you’re one of those, then this is a great place to start!

Did you know, for example, that Christianity isn’t about going to church, or doing good things? It’s about having a relationship with God. This is what makes it different to other religions. Christians don’t have to depend on trying extra hard to be good, but celebrate the fact that Jesus gave his life in our place, so that simply by trusting in him, anyone can have that relationship with God. That’s why Christianity is called ‘Good News’.

What is a Christian?

Quite simply, Christian is someone who believes in Jesus Christ, trusts in what Jesus did for us, and follows his teachings in their day to day living.

This plays out in lots of ways, but usually the response to what God has done for them would mean that they pray, and study the Bible, and join in on Worship as part of a church, and serve those around them to demonstrate God's love.
