,
1: God
Christians believe that there is only one God,
whom they call Father as Jesus Christ taught
them.
2: Jesus
Christians recognize Jesus as the Son of
God who was sent to save mankind from
death and sin.
Jesus Christ taught that he was Son of God.
 Jesus said that he had come to fulfill God's
law rather than teach it.
, 3: Justification by faith
In christianity, the belief that a person can
achieve salvation only through faith and
reliance on God’s grace, not through
good deeds.
The doctrine that god vindicates only
those who repent and believe in jesus.
4: The Trinity
 Christians believe in the Trinity - that is, in
God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Some confuse this and think that Christians
believe in three separate gods.
Christians believe that God took human
form as Jesus Christ and that God is
present today through the work of the Holy
Spirit and evident in the actions of
believers.
5: Life after death
Christians believe that there is a life
after earthly death.
While the actual nature of this life is
not known, Christians believe that
many spiritual experiences in this life
help to give them some idea of what
eternal life will be like.
6: The Church
The Christian church is fundamental
to believers. Although it has many
faults it is recognized as God's body
on earth.
The church is the place where the
Christian faith is nurtured and where
the Holy Spirit is manifest on earth.
It is where Christians are received into
the faith and where they are brought
together into one body through
the Eucharist.
7: Prayer and ritual
.
Prayer is the means by which Christians
communicate with their God.
The New Testament records that Jesus
taught his disciples how to pray and that
he encouraged them to address God
as Father. Christians believe that they
continue this tradition.
Sometimes the prayers are formal.
Prayers through Mary, as the mother of
God,
Are central to some churches and form a
traditional part of their worship.
. 8: Baptism
The Christian church believes in
one baptism
Into the Christian church, whether this
be as an infant or as an adult, as an
outward sign of an inward
commitment to the teachings of
Jesus.
9:Eucharist
 Its celebration is to commemorate the final
meal that Jesus took with his disciples before
his death (the Last Supper).
 This rite comes from the actions of Jesus who,
at that meal, took bread and wine and asked
his disciples to consume them and continue to
do so in memory of him.
 At the meal, the wine represented his blood
and the bread his body.
 Different Churches understand and practice the
Eucharist in different ways.
 Christians perform this ritual on one day of
every month.
. 10: Christian beliefs concerning God
 There is only one God
 God is a Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit
 God is perfect
 God is omnipotent
 God is everywhere
 God knows everything
 God created the universe
 God keeps the universe going
 God intervenes in the universe
 Human beings can get to know God through
God's grace - that is through his love and his
power
11: God the Holy Spirit
After the resurrection, Jesus lived on
earth for only a few days before
ascending to heaven.
Jesus promised to be with his
followers, so after he ascended to
heaven he sent his spirit to guide
them.
The Holy Spirit continues to guide,
comfort and encourage Christians.
12: Christianity and Islam
Those who follow it are called
Muslims which means "submitter to
God". Muslims view Christians to be
People of the Book, and also regard
them as kafirs (unbelievers)
committing shirk (polytheism)
because of the Trinity, and thus,
contend that they must be dhimmis
(religious taxpayers) under Sharia
law.
. 13: Muslims call
Christianity
 Muslims believe that Jews and
Christians have strayed from God's true
faith but hold them in higher esteem
than pagans and unbelievers. They call
Jews and Christians the "People of the
Book" and allow them to practice their
own religions.
