Christianism
(My) Definition: All things were created in the likeness of God, the one and only God, who rules over all while also desiring a relationship with each individual human being.
Principles:
- God ultimately desires a relationship with everyone-God created us so that he could have someone to love and to love him back. He wants his people to rely on him and want to follow him as well as talk with him through prayer. He loves all that he has created.
- Along with giving us life, God gave his people free will- God didn't want a bunch of robots who only loved him because they were made to. He wanted everyone to have a choice.
- God is omnipotent or all-powerful- God created all things and is the ultimate ruler. He has all the power in the world and he has control over everything.
- God is also omnipresent- God is everywhere. He is in our surroundings as well as in the people in our lives. He follows us wherever we go and he never abandons anyone.
- One of the biggest characteristics of God is that he is omniscient- God is all-knowing. He knows the thoughts in our heads, he knows every word that is going to come out of our mouths even before we think of them. Ultimately God has a plan for each and every one of us therefore everything happens for a reason.
- By believing in him a person is given everlasting life in heaven- God promises to make a place in heaven for all those who believe in him. This is expressed multiple times throughout the Bible.
- Because God loves everyone, we should love everyone as well- We are taught in the Bible to love and respect God, as well as ourselves and others. Followers of Jesus strive to live their lives as he did, with love, compassion and an everlasting hope.
*All of these things are taught to us through the Bible which is his word and is the book of life.*
