What is Christianity Really About?

Question

Modern Christian thoughts confuse me a lot.

When I research and ask, people tell me that I need to believe that Jesus died for my sins, and I need to worship God through Jesus in order to be saved.

So what else do I need to do in order to be worthy in the eyes of God?

Is it not enough that I believe in God?

Is it not enough that I wish to worship Him. and Him alone?

do I need to put a medium between me and Him? Isnt it more Merciful for God to accept me as I am and allow me to worship Him without resorting to worshipping a man who is no more?

I see no Jesus when I look in the sky...I see no Jesus when I look in the sea. I see Gods creation. And I see His Power.

That on its own is enough to make me a believer. Jesus isnt even in the picture.

Answer 1

To put it simply;
The sibling-hood of humanity,
The Parenthood of God,
Do not Judge for when you limit what is forgivable in others you limit what you believe God will forgive in yourself.
Love is the answer to all things.
Never fear those who can destroy the body but not the soul, for the soul is eternal life.
Do not let yourself become attached to worldly things,(Wealth, possessions, political power) for they my hinder your spiritual journey to the kingdom of heaven.
"It is easier for a camel to walk through the eye of the needle fully packed than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

Answer 2

First of all, you don't need to do anything to be worthy in the eyes of God. He loved you from the day you were first conceived. However, Christians believe in the Trinity (3 in 1) of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This means that God embodies all 3 of these.

Also - the Old Testament states that God will be sending a savior. The New Testament states that Jesus is this savior. Are you saying that you don't believe that Jesus is the savior or that you don't believe there was or will be a savior at all? My answer for you sort of depends on which it is.

Answer 3

Christianity is the belief in Jesus Christ as son of God, and savior. Jesus was Gods son, always. He was with god in spirit before the world was made. he came to us in the flesh of a man to save us. Me you everyone of the world who would ask, and follow his teachings. those are in the bible. Jesus isn't dead, he's with his father(God), waiting for the end time. And Jesus the Son will judge us all. "For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgement unto the Son: Saint John 5:22 That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son, honors not the Father which has sent him. Saint John 5: 23 Enjoy the creation, it's a marvel to see. But worship the creator, you salvation depends on it. The Laws of good and evil you already know, they're written in your heart. But the way to salvation is a narrow path. Get a Bible, and read it, a lot. It will tell you all you need to know, and help boost your faith, and get direction when you feel lost. It needs no interpreter, It reads quite litteral, and don't worry about what you don't get, understanding comes as you learn. God bless you on your journey, I pray you do well. and hope this helps.

Answer 4

Christianity is about Christ- aka Jesus.
John 3: 16 For GOD so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3: 17 For GOD sent His son into the world NOT to condemn the world; but that the world, through HIM might be saved.

We are all sinnners in need of the redemtion of Jesus' blood. When you worship GOD you are worshiping Father, Son and Holy Ghost ( also called comforter, healer, Holy Spirit ) The trinity ( the three ) are one in the same just in different forms.
( I am a mother, daughter and aunt so it is basically th same concept. Just trying to make it clearer to you on how that can be possible. )

There are a lot of people that believe in GOD but don't want to believe that GOD sent His Son Jesus to die on a cross for our sins. But remember that Jesus came willingly. He was not forced- just like we are not forced to believe.
It is a choice we make OUT OF LOVE to live a GODly life.

If you are struggling with this in your mind then pray that GOD will show you the truth. Believe me He will.
Then ask for confirmation of what you have learned. That comes too.

God bless your journey.

Answer 5

ok John 1:1 "In the beginning there was the Word and the Word was God, and the Word was with God." does that explain it to you Jesus is the Word. he is God in the flesh. He came to earth in the form of a man to die for you and me. God and Jesus are the same person(well not really person but you get what i mean). There is the trinity Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 3 in 1 like a three leaf clover they are all different parts of the same thing. Jesus was with God(Father) in the beginning then he(the Son) came to earth he died on the cross and rose 3 days later then he ascended to heaven but he left behind a part of him(Holy Spirit) to stay with us here on earth. If you say that it is impossible for any of this to have happened then you are limiting what you say you believe is the one true God. Well Jesus exists he will continue to exist wether you believe in him opr not. "I am The Way, the Truth, and the Life. NO ONE CAN COME TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME." Jesus Christ

MAY YOU SOON COME TO SEE THE TRUTH. AND GOD BLESS

Answer 6

One can admire nature, but is that the same thing as a relationship with God? I used to enjoy the spring and summer days, and the beauties of nature, playing cricket with village friends, boating up the river.
When I tried to relate to God directly it was like a great black barrier existed, as if God was offended, although I didn't feel bad compared with my peers in moral terms.

With me I heard a presentation of the gospel in my teen years. I don't believe this idea that the modern message differs from the original - you can look at Paul's and Peter's appeals to people to believe in Jesus for reconciliation with God in Acts.

I believed and confessed, which is what God required to get a person into the New Covenant in Jesus's blood, so ones sins are paid and one is, in the spirit, born again.
The black barrier went; it was the barrier due to sin, although as I say I was not very sinful compared with my peers.
I received the Holy Spirit. My life of faith hasn't been easy but its very real. I've also been healed in the name of Jesus from serious affliction.

Nature of course is often very beautiful, although also it can be very cruel, maybe you have studied it a bit and noticed that. This is because there is decay and selfish struggle in it. As a christians we believe one day God will renew it to remove these sadnesses.

Answer 7

God created man, man sinned and God cannot look on sin because it is abhorrant to him. He created us to have free will, so we can decide what to do and what not to do. Since we choose to sin, he gave us a way to reach him because he loves us and doesn't want to be seperated from us. In the old testament priests would sacrifice animals and the sacrifice would cover the sins of the people. God sent Jesus to us to be the ultimate sacrifice. His blood not only covers our sins, but it washes them away. Jesus was the perfect sacrifice, no blemishes, no sins. He is man and he is God. He is an intercessor for us to God and he understands us because he was tempted as humans are. God loves us and wants us to have a relationship with him. His great mercy for us is why he sent his son to us. Hebrews is a wonderful book of the bible that explains God's covenant to us and how Jesus is a perfect covenant.

Answer 8

What you're doing is right, but the only thing you have to do is realize that because Jesus Christ died for you sins, He should be the Lord and Savior of your life.

PS: Jesus is not just a man, He is also God.

Answer 9

Pray, ask God to show you what is real, what is true and what he says about his son Jesus. I did.
In the old test there are over 300 prophesies that have come true telling about Jesus IE born a virgin, died on cross, died for our sins etc.
You are right you DO need a medium between God and you. "There is one mediator between God and us, that is his son Jesus the Christ"
Jesus said before the creation of the earth he was in heaven He is co-creator of all! Some say he IS God. This is hard for me to understand myself but he did say, "the father and I are one"
Here's the thing, God is perfect, sinless. you cannot enter heaven with sin. You can't be good enough. "Your good works are filthy rags to God" and "All sin and fall short of the glory of God"
The only way to salvation is through Jesus the Christ. When one follows his teachings; believe in him, repent of your sins, and be baptized (immersed in water) for the remission of your sins (acts 2:38) then one is saved! Then when you are judged God only sees his son's sacrifice ON you. You will appear white as snow-without sin!
God bless you dear on your search.

Answer 10

We are ALL DEAD in God's eyes. The debt for our sin is absolute. Also, his total Love and mercy is absolute. Jesus IS the answer to allowing us to be clean of sin not because you are without sin but because Jesus took your place in the punishment for sin. DEATH. When God rose Jesus, Jesus took dominion over everything, even death. Jesus is God. He is our salvation. He is the only answer. John 3:16

Answer 11

Christianity is about God giving fallen and sinful mankind the opportunity to be reinstated to his pre-fallen status. That opportunity is only available through the gift of His Son who paid the price (death) to make that opportunity available to all. Jesus stands before God on our behalf so that we do not have to suffer the wages of sin (death). God will accept you as you are through His Son and has promised to change you back into a perfect and holy being by faith through grace.
