WHAT IS THE CHRISTIAN FAITH?
The Christian faith revolves around one person - the Lord Jesus Christ.
It’s the faith in Jesus’ life, death, resurrection and promised return.
Christians believe that Jesus bridged the gap between God’s perfection and humankind’s rebellion (sin). His sinless life and loving sacrifice upon the cross provides all people with the way to a restored and right relationship with God.
We call this “the great exchange” - Jesus took upon Himself all our sin, and through faith in Him we receive God’s grace and are restored into a right relationship with God.
The Bible says this: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.
The Christian faith starts not with what we can do for God, but rather with what God has done for us… This is the Good News!
But it doesn’t end there - Jesus’ resurrection is our complete guarantee of deliverance from sin and victory over death. The resurrection of Jesus is the ultimate verification and assurance of our faith and hope in Him.
Jesus Himself said, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying.”
Christians are people of great hope, which means we are joyful, confident and expectant as a result of our faith in Jesus. We look forward to the promises Jesus made - that He will one day return to the earth and make all things new, and that He has prepared a place in eternity for us.
Because of Jesus we have forgiveness for our past, a purpose for our present, and a great hope for our future.

For this is how god loved the world: he gave his one and only son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. god sent his son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.
