What is the Nature of Christianity
At the very least, Christianity is the faith tradition that focuses on the figure of Jesus Christ and the Holy Trinity. In this context, faith refers both to the believers' act of trust and to the amount of their faith. That tradition viewed as a system of belief and behaviour, leads people to see Christianity as one of the world religions, alongside Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and others. As a , Christianity is more than a system of religious belief. It also has generated a culture, a set of ideas and ways of life, practices, and artifacts that have been handed down from generation to generation through the 20 centuries since Jesus first became the object of faith. Christianity is thus both a living tradition of faith and the culture that the faith leaves behind as a kind of deposit. The agent of Christianity is the church, the community of people who make up the body of believers. Christianity may incorporate, along with such believers, their doctrines, customs and morals.
How to stay Focused as Christians
To say that Christianity “focuses” on Jesus Christ is to say that, whatever else it comprehends, somehow it brings these realities together in reference to an ancient historic figure. Few Christians would be content to keep this reference merely historical. Although their faith tradition is historical i.e., they believe that transactions with the divine do not occur in the realm of timeless ideas but among ordinary humans through the ages the vast majority of Christians focus their faith in Jesus Christ as someone who is also a present reality. Christians cannot be Christian without focused their attention to Jesus Christ and the Holy Trinity. The people of God should in their own quiet way speak to God in prayer and hear his teachings at the place of worship such as a church.
How can we learn about Jesus?
In the late 20th century about one-third of the world's people claimed the Christian faith. Christians thus constituted the world's largest religious community and embraced remarkable diversity, with churches in every nation. Christianity's demographic center had shifted from its Western base to Latin America, Africa, Asia, and the Pacific region, where more than half the world's Christians had had lived. This trend steadily accelerated as the church declined in Europe. The tangibly real universal church represented a new phenomenon in the history of religions. This was the fruit of mission. The Christian Church created the bases of the Western . From its beginning the Christian community faced external and internal challenges to its faith, which it met by developing and utilizing intellectual and educational resources. Through reference to God’s word, the Bible we can sustain a complete interaction with God and learn his ways and the teachings of Jesus Christ. By analyzing Jesus’ teachings and morals we can establish a better judgement of Christianity and make better judgment on life’s purposes and values.
