What is Christianity

Christians are people who respond to the love of God which Jesus has shown us. Jesus left two guiding principles for his followers: love God and love people.

Following Jesus is a journey of discovery in which we become the person we were created to be and live life to the full. Following Jesus is about relationship with God and others and about making the world a better place.

Christians do not always get it right along the way, but God always forgives us when we come humbly to Him and He helps us to do better next time. Only when we submit our lives to God, to His love and goodness, are we truly free to experience all that life has to offer. Following Jesus is not always easy, but Gods helps us through the struggles of life.

The Bible discusses this in many different ways, but you might want to look at three passages. Two are in the book of John, chapters 3 and 10, and one in Romans, chapter 10.
