What kind of religion is Christ?

Christianity is the general name of all sects that take Jesus Christ as their savior, also known as Christianity. 1 century, originated in Rome province of Palestine (now Israel, Palestine, Jordan). It is based on the birth, preaching, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christianity mainly includes Catholicism, Protestantism, Orthodox Church and other smaller sects.

Christian faith is centered on Jesus Christ, based on the Bible, and the core idea is the gospel, that is, the redemption of God Jesus Christ, which fully shows God's selfless love for all mankind and the whole universe. God loves the world so much that he even gave his only son (Jesus Christ) to them, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

Christianity, Buddhism and Islam are called the three major religions. However, in terms of scale and influence, Christianity is the largest religion in the world. Christianity plays an extremely important and irreplaceable key role and far-reaching influence in the history of human development. ?

Christianity was founded by Jesus of Nazareth in present-day Israel, Palestine and Jordan in 1 century. It inherits the Jewish Bible and many cultural traditions, and believes that God creates and dominates the world. It is believed that human beings have sinned and died tragically in sin since their ancestors did not obey God's laws. Only by believing in the Trinity God and relying on Jesus Christ can they be saved. The birth of Jesus and his sacrifice to save mankind marked a new covenant between God and mankind, brought the gospel of God's salvation and declared the end of the Old Testament era. In the process of preaching, Jesus recruited 12 apostles to atone for the world with the sacrifice on the cross. Jesus was resurrected three days after his death, ascended to heaven on the 40th day after his resurrection, and descended to the Holy Spirit on the 50th day, from which began the glory and development that continues to this day.

The expression of Christian faith is based on the Bible, and the belief documents formed by apostles, churches and guilds in past dynasties are the carrier, with rich contents. As the Christian (Protestant) version of the Apostle's creed says:

"I believe in the father of Almighty God, the creator of heaven and earth, and I believe in my Lord Jesus Christ, the only son of God. Born of the Virgin Mary and the Holy Spirit, she suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, was buried, went down to the underworld, rose from the dead on the third day, ascended to heaven, and sat at the right hand of the Almighty Father, from where she would judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy and great church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and eternal life. Amen! "

Christianity summarizes the whole truth and core of its belief as the most fundamental principles of loving God (you should love the Lord-your God wholeheartedly) and loving yourself (you should not retaliate or blame your own people, but love yourself), and regards the law of love as the greatest law. Love each other has also become the core command in the New Testament. It is believed that this spiritual true love and holiness are concentrated in Christ Jesus, so it is also called the religion of love.
