Christianity is an Abrahamic, polytheistic religion founded on the teachings and life of Jesus of Nazareth, also known as God. It is probably the most popular religion in the world, having almost 2.4 Billion followers worldwide. It started as a small group of people who had a strong belief in the Christian religion; its members were called the followers of Christ or Christians. It later developed into a separate religion after some time. Christianity believes that there is a God who created the heavens and the earth and also cares for the earth and all of its living creatures. This God is loved by all of the people and is responsible for all of the things happening in the universe.
Christianity believes that the teachings of the Old Testament are the words of God meant for Christians to teach to people today. The teachings found in the Old Testament can be applied to today while changes have been made to some of the laws in the New Testament. Some of the biggest differences between Christianity and Judaism are that the followers of Christians do not believe in the miracles that are done in the Old Testament such as the raising of Jezebel, the sending of the Israelites to destroy the people of Moab, and the conquering of Jerusalem by the Romans.
Christianity differs from other religions in that it has three essential principles that are essential to its teachings. First, Christians believe that the Christian God is one who is very loving and kind, which makes him willing to provide mercy for His creation. Second, Christians believe that salvation is through the grace of God through the work of the cross of Jesus Christ, which he accomplished for his followers on the third day of his resurrection from the dead. Lastly, they believe that salvation is accessible to everyone once they have been saved through the grace of Christ. These three essentials are known as the doctrines of salvation, which are also known as Dogmas of salvation. Christianity has a lot of vocabulary that defines the beliefs and practices of the Christian religion but these three are essential to understanding the beliefs and practices of Christians.
