What is the Christian Life?
The Christian Life was a supernatural life which could only be lived by one who was ready to accept the supernatural aids to it which God offered, the recognition of the real in dwelling presence of the Holy Ghost In The baptized soul which makes it capable of the reception of sacramental Grace the recognition of the true and literal presence of Jesus Christ in the sacrament of the altar.
What is christianity?
Christians believe in something that no one else believes:
We believe that God became man, that he died for our sins and was resurrected.
He overcame death, and he told us that whoever believes in him will never die.
Death is the enemy of humanity. It first entered the world through the sin of Adam and Eve who disobeyed God and followed their desires instead.
Through their disobedience, sin and death entered the world. God sent his Son Jesus to die on our behalf.
Christianity is not only about living a moral life, but it is about knowing the God to who made us, knowing where we are going.
To know that he became man for our sake out of love to us
That he died for us
To speak with him, and accept his guidance
To know his will in our lives
The purpose of learning about God isnt only to make us good and holy people.
No. But to live in Gods kingdom, with everyone else.
The most important thing about christianity is that God was born in the fleah. Hence the importance of icons like the birth of Jesus, because they remind us of this truth.
The same for his death and resurrection.
Introduction to Christianity:
In the beginning, God created Adam and Eve, one man and one woman. But they disobeyed God, so God expelled them from Edgen, the paradise he created.
But with time, God sought to bring them back. This is why he sent prophets, to bring back his people, and to foretell the coming of a messiah: The Christ, or the Son of God who will take away the sins of the world.
2000 years ago, God entered history by being born of a virgin girl. This woman was called Mary. God was incarnated as a human being, and was miraculously born of a virgin. The boy was called Jesus Christ.
Jesus lived a holy life. And because he was God, he could do miraculous things. For example he healed the blind, he healed the sick, calmed storms, he even raised the dead.
One day, at the last supper, he sat down with his disciples, and he foretold his crucifixion, death and resurrection. He gave bread to his disciples to eat, saying: "This is my body". Do this in memory of me.

Christians believe that the world was created by an infinitely powerful God is outside both time and space.

On prayer:
God gives us confort and strength. Gives us peace.
When we pray and put our trust in him, we know that he is with us, because he promised to never leave us when we trust in him.
