Where was the Christian religion from?

Answer 1

The Christian religion began after the death and ressurrection of Jesus Christ.

Jesus was born in Bethlehem, in the country now called Israel.

The Bible is the Christian Holy book. The Bible says everybody is born spiritually dead. Another way of saying this is people don't have a relationship with/know God. This is because the first man and woman did not obey God and so their relationship with God - the creator and sustainer of life - was broken. This is sin. Throughout the history of mankind - as told in the Bible - the way for a person to restore their relationship with God is to acknowledge their relationship with God is broken and to offer a sacrifice.

In the early history of mankind this is what people did. God chose the nation of Israel to be His representatives on earth. Israel was supposed to show the other nations what a relationship with God is like. But Israel turned from God and His ways and followed other gods.

So God came to earth as a man - Jesus - and died as the 'lamb of God', a sacrifice for the sin of all who believe. If a person believes this, the Bible says God forgives the person and that person gives them eternal life.

1John 5:11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

1Johnn 5:12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

This eternal life is a free gift. To receive it you only have to believe Jesus is the saviour of the world.
