What would you say is the essence of Christianity? What is the first thing you tell someone who's never heard of Christ before?

Everything is terrible, culminating in death, but you can be saved from this curse.

The essence if Christianity is God and His Kingdom, which lies within us.

The goodness in you is pretty much "the nature of God".


c1cb2d No.538765

The Creator God who made all things, and gives you life, is at enmity with your soul since you have inherited the rebellion of the First Man and have made yourself His enemy.

Your every inclination is evil continually, for you seek only that which pleases yourself rather than what pleases God; and to elevate your own will and priorities above the will of the One who made you for His specific purposes is a crime against the Eternal King - since you say that you have more right to determine your life that your Maker.

For this crime against The Eternal Holy God there can only be one punishment: Eternal Wrath

Yet this same Creator God became the man Christ Jesus, and unlike the First Man; Jesus lived a perfect life of complete submission to God's will - doing all the the things you could never do - and this same Jesus then died on your behalf; receiving all the punishment for your rebellion.

In this Life and Death, Christ exchanged all His goodness for your evil, and all His innocence for your guilt, so that if you turn from your own self-determination and put your trust in Christ; you will be saved from the eternal consequences of your rebellion.

And so that you may know that Christ Jesus is the only Way to have peace with God, and to prove that He has overcome the consequences of Evil; this same Christ Jesus rose from the dead 3 days after he was killed; this resurrection being witnessed by many, many people who went around the world testifying to the miracle they had seen; proclaiming His teaching that He is God and has made the Way for all men to be saved from Wrath.

I would say Theosis and quotes like ""For we too are sons and gods by grace, and we have surely been brought to this wonderful and supernatural dignity since we have the Only Begotten Word of God dwelling within us.", as Cyril of Alexandria (pbuh) would say…buuuut

>>538775

>love

this anon ended the thread. It literally cannot get more simple than this. God is Love (as it is said in 1 John 4:8)
