Christian beliefs: Know them concisely

CHRISTIANITY BELIEVES in one God and its central figure is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. In Christianity, Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit are considered to be an essence of the God.
Jesus Christ performed many charities and miracles. He also spoke to people about his father in heaven. He was arrested for claiming to be God's son and was crucified by the Romans at age of 33.

Here is a sentence- acrostic that describes JESUS briefly.

  • J: Jew born by Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary who

  • E: Effected many miracles and

  • S: Spoke to many people about his father in heaven but

  • U: Ultimately got crucified by Romans to pay for the sins of all mankind and proved that he was the

  • S: Son of God who lived a life without sin.

Christians believe that he rose from the grave after three days and spoke to his followers about the kingdom of God to which he was going.

The beliefs of Christianity can be learnt briefly in the document called the ‘Apostles' Creed’ which goes as follows.
'I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth
And in Jesus Christ,
His only Son, our Lord;
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, died and was buried.
He descended into hell;
The third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven
And is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
From there He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
The holy Christian Church,
The Communion of Saints,
The Forgiveness of sins,
The Resurrection of the body,
And the Life everlasting.
Amen'.
