How To Understand Christianity

By Nels Wild


Have you encountered someone who claims that he is the Lord or that he has come to save us all? Maybe you've seen someone on TV that says if you believe in his prophecies, we'll all be eligible for salvation? It's not uncommon to see people making prophecies out of the blue and making people believe they have that gift. To the eyes of true religious people, they are nothing but false prophets.

What is a false prophet? A false prophet is someone who makes claims that they have the gift of prophecy. He uses it not only to deceive people, but for objectives of evil. He may be perceived as a prophet, a true prophet to some, but he is a false prophet to many. The Bible has cited in many cases where false prophets have been trying to capture the attention of people by making claims such as Jesus saying they will be like him in performing miracles or that they see the Apocalypse coming from a mile away. False prophets also make claims that they are agents of God and therefore must be followed if you want to be saved.

Christians hold a strong belief about Jesus being the Son of God and being the Messiah. Because of his duties as a Messiah, they acknowledge that by having a strong faith in Jesus, they know even the most sinful will be welcomed for salvation in Heaven. This is quite different from other religious branches because they mostly focus on God but not on Jesus. Christians also see the events of Jesus' life as essential monuments because it shows where their faith is going. When Jesus was born and became fully human, they saw that Jesus was like them. He was like any other human in the world who would be willing to suffer without any regret. He was born as a man and would rise as a God. That's why he is known to "God in Flesh of a man".

A true Christian fears God. He doesn't fear him like He's some crazy monster lurking in the deep. What this means is he knows how God is powerful and he acknowledges his authority on life. It is a powerful acknowledgement to know God is up there, looking over at the people of the World. Of course, there are times when people will push away a true Christian from what he believes but the true Christian will always stay true to his allegiance. That means he will stick to the word of God and stay strong even if the discouragements are strong. He has faith in God even in times of hardship for he knows God has plans.

So in a way, Christianity is quite different from other religions in the branch of Catholicism. As it stands, Christianity has a very big focus on everything about Jesus. It can be a bit hard to understand everything about it but if you take the time to listen and read, you'll see that Christianity and Catholic and all other religious branches are not that far from each other. They all still see God as a central part of their faith. So whatever religion you belong to, keep to your beliefs but show respect for others.
