CHRISTIANITY AS A WAY OF LIFE

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Christianity begins with receiving our Lord Jesus Christ, the gift of God’s love and forgiveness by faith. It results in a triple commitment to a person, the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a commitment to Him of your intellect, emotions, and will. Christianity is a personal intimate relationship between one and Christ. This life begins in faith according to Ephesians 2:8-9 and can only be lived by faith. Faith is another word for trust. We trust our lives to Christ’s keeping because He has proven Himself trustworthy by His life, His death, His resurrection, and His abiding presence, His unconditional love. Christianity from onset is meant to be a life lived by faith according to Gods principles as indicated in the bible. It is by faith that we enter into Christianity and it is by faith that we make it as a way of life
