Many people around the world know the basis of Christianity, but many have

little to no knowledge of what real Christianity really is. There are many different

forms of Christianity such as protestant, catholic, and Baptist, but we will

discuss the broadest version of Christianity. Christians believe that Jesus Christ

was the messiah who died for the sins of all. Christians believe there is one

god, but he has three elements to him, God the Father, God the son, and The Holy Spirit.

Christians worship in church. Priests and Ministers are influential in Christian communities. The

Christian holy book is bible, and consists of the old and New Testament.

The Miracles of Jesus

In the Bible Jesus created many miracles such as The Feeding of 5,000 town’s people. In this

story Jesus fed 5,000 people with only 5 loaves of bread and two fish. This shows the car of

people to help and represents to give what you have share for the wellbeing of all. The ability to

feed 5,000 people was just as astonishing as for why he chose to feed them. They lived in an

era where most people were starved and treated cruelly, but one man gave literally his life to

help all people. Then why must people not worship him for the selfness to give all his body and

soul as a savior? He also demonstrates God’s righteousness and merciful grace

After Jesus was crucified, his Apostles kept spreading the word of God and the journey of

Jesus. Being a Christian is not just giving your life to God, it is being a vessel for his love and

Give others the opportunity to prosper as much as yourself as a Christian. Christianity is being a

soldier of God, and not a civilian of worldly rule. Witch will you choose?
