What is Christianity all About?
Christianity is nothing like other religions. In fact, Christianity is not a “religion” at all. Christians are people who have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This means that Christianity is a relationship.
To be a Christian means that we have accepted that we can not save ourselves, and no amount of good works will get us into heaven. We understand that our best works are nothing but filthy rags in God’s eyes. Why? Because God is absolutely perfect. Therefore, He accepts nothing but perfection. And we simply aren’t capable of perfection.
So are we doomed? Not at all!
God knew we could not save ourselves, so He set about saving us Himself. How? By becoming a human, just like us. I am talking about Jesus, of course. Jesus is God, but He chose to become a man and be tempted just like any man. But Jesus, being God, never sinned. Because He was perfect, He chose to stand in our place and take our punishment upon Himself. By doing this, He made a way for us to get to heaven. Not on our own goodness, but on His goodness alone.
All we have to do is accept what Jesus has already done for us. We call Him Lord, and so He is. He is the Lord of our lives. But He is also Savior, and friend, and brother.
