#1 = Christianity 30% of the world's population
Followers = 2 billion
Founder = Jesus Christ Who made a claim that no other major
religious figure has ever made before or since: He claimed to be God in the
flesh. (And did some amazingly convincing things to substantiate that claim.)
Jesus taught that God was One essence, expressing itself in
three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. So that God was one, but three,
which Christians called “The Tri-Unity,” or “The Trinity.” God is in community
with Himself and loved that community so much that He expanded the community to
include angels and humans who could experience community with him and with each
other. So their View of God = Monotheism
and Means to God =
Atonement/Substitution
For Christ died for sins once for all, the
righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. - 1 Peter 3:18
View of Afterlife = Heaven A place in
the presence of God Himself, where we will have meaningful responsibilities,
full knowledge of ourselves and God, and unspeakable joy. The Bible says that
when those who have trusted in Christ get to heaven: He will wipe every tear from
their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of
things has passed away. – Revelation 21:4
Be wise today and always - know and accept the truth and love of God.
