Key: Additions Deletions
Christians believe in one God who created the heavens and the earth and all its fullness.
Christianity teaches that the first humans, Adam and Eve, were given extraordinary ease and delight in the Garden of Eden, including a personal companionship with God - so much so that God would even "walk" in the Garden with them.
Even with all the good and ease that God presented them with they both chose to sin, going directly against God's command, not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. They chose to believe a lie and temptation of the devil, in the form of a serpent, rather than obey God and keep His command. Because of this falling away, Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Eden. The serpent, Adam, and Eve were cursed for their rebellion.
But, Christians believe that God is all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-loving. Christianity teaches that God the Heavenly Father had a plan to save His creation from the curses and snares of sin, long before time began.
Christians believe that God the Father would use His Son Jesus, the Christ, as an eternal and just sacrifice to pay for the sins of the world reconciling anyone who would believe on Him to the Father.
Christians believe that Jesus' earthly entrance was performed miraculously through a virgin by the Holy Spirit hovering over her, causing her to conceive the human form of Jesus, the Son of God. Christians do not believe that God is like man that He should have relations in the way men do to bare a Son, but rather that because He is all powerful and His word commands the universe, that all He had to do was will for it to happen, He spoke of it, sent His Holy Spirit to hover over Mary and miraculously she gave birth to Jesus with no earthly father involved.
Christians believe that God the Father planned for Jesus to walk the earth, from before time began, to set an example of perfect submission to God the Father, living as a human being but with no sin whatsoever, teaching and proclaiming the kingdom of God, and finally to suffer even unto death as a holy and perfect sacrifice before the Father; carrying with Him the sins of the world, washing them away white as snow through the crimson flow of His blood which was spilled for many.
Christians believe that after Jesus' death, He rose again as He had stated beforehand to His followers and others. Christianity teaches that Jesus rose back to life on the third day in victory over Satan, death, and sin - having conquered the world and all that opposes God. The resurrection of Jesus' slain body exemplified His victory and reign.
Christians also believe that He walked around the earth for forty days and then ascended into heaven to sit at the right hand of the power of God.
Christians believe that Jesus the Son and God the Father are one, just as Jesus proclaimed while on earth. Christians believe that the Holy Spirit of God is also with and part of God. Christians believe the Spirit is a Helper to those who believe; giving them supernatural powers whether it be the speaking of tongues,prophecy,healing the sick,or showing outstanding displays of God's mercy,love, and forgiveness to people who have severely offended or even harmed them in some way.
Christianity teaches that no one can come to the Father except through the Son, Jesus. Christians believe that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life and that no one can have eternal life without accepting Him.
Christians believe that Jesus will return to earth one day to defeat the Antichrist, the incarnation of Satan, and all that opposes God in a final battle of good and evil.
Christianity teaches that there will be a Day of Judgment for all mankind in which everyone will give an account for their lives. Because no man is perfect for his entire life, and even if one becomes able to restrain his physical body- there still remains the sins of the heart that lie deep within us- Christians recognize their need for a Saviour to save them and ransom them from God's hot wrath and eternal judgment. Because we believe that God provided this salvation for us through His Son, Jesus the Christ we believe on Jesus' sacrifice and work at the cross throwing ourselves on the mercy of God-pleading in the name of His Son's blood to be saved from eternal damnation for the wretched state of our souls.
Christians believe that once someone has accepted Jesus as the Son of God and Christ believing that He is the truth, the way, and the life that they will be made new and "born again" with a new heart and a new mind - constantly being changed into the holiness that the LORD expects of us; but not in our own power but through the power of the Son who was made to be sin for us that we might be saved from sin.
