We live in a world where religion is all around us. But why is everyone so interested in finding that right religion? Well, many believe that it will reconnect them with who they truly are and give them a reason why they are here on earth. Religion is a system of beliefs that involves the worship of God or gods, prayer, rituals, ceremonies, and a moral code. Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and Judaism are religions that are primary based on these things but one thing that they all have in common is that they recognize or sense a power higher than themselves and seek to follow it. All of the religions in the world are great. However, there is one that always seems to catch everyone’s interest and that is Christianity. Christianity is one of the largest growing religions and traditions in the world. But why is it one of the largest growing religions in the world? What is Christianity? What are their teachings? Christianity is the religious tradition based on the life and teaching of Jesus of Nazareth also known as Jesus Christ. Christians believe that Jesus is the Messiah. Everything that the Christians know about him comes from the four Gospels written by, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, which can be found in the New Testament. So, what is a Messiah? The Jews believed that the Messiah would come and present to them a new world free from Roman power and bring about a greater national prosperity. They were expecting not a humble servant of God but a literal king or military leader. Therefore, when investigators want to learn more about Jesus the Messiah and his teachings they can refer to the Four Gospels. Many Christians focus on four of Jesus teachings. They are: The “Kingdom of God” has arrived and is present among us, Love ... ... middle of paper ... ...’t believe in the New Testament and the Christians believe in both the New and Old Testament. But in both books they talk about that they are the true path to God. Christians and Jews are not really that different; I mean Christianity did come up from Judaism. With so many other religions in the world, I use to ask myself why so many people would choose to be a part of the Christian church instead of the Catholic or Buddhist. But, now I know why and that is because everyone wants to live in a world where there is love and peace all around and that is exactly what the Christians believe in. The only trouble is finding that right path to God. The only way to do that is if people have faith and trust that Jesus is the Savior (Messiah). He loved us so much that he died for all of our sins. He is now the Holy Spirit that will direct to that path heading towards God.
