What is christianity? 

There are two major answers for this question.

  1. Largest religion in the world.

  2. Peoples are following Jesus          and his teachings.

If you want to know what is christianity really is.... You may need to understand what is an christian life.

What is christian life? 

Christian life is a journey  because Jesus is the way ( john 14 : 6). 

Christian life is a joyful life because its like a journey. Every life is a journey birth to death. But when you become a christian you started a new journey. Your destination changed from death to eternal life. 

How the life become a journey? 

 Jesus said: if anyone wants to be my disciple 'deny yourself,  take the cross and follow me'. 

The word "follow me" expressing a journey. Jesus travelled 3125 miles while his ministry.  But we can find a way in jesus that spiritual.  Life will become a journey when you live in spirit. 

Bible about journey

In the old testament we can see a journey of Israel. When the old testament is the shadow of the new testament mysteries.  So by faith we are also Israel and our spiritual life is a journey. 

"Israel thought that they saved and safe when they crossed Red sea"

But in the life of desert they fall down. They christian life have the same circumstances when your journey begins. 

Jesus is the way God opened for your salvation from slavery of sin. But this is not the end of everything, its a starting of new journey. 

We need the Holy spirit (the comforter ) for conquer the desert life. 

 Christianity vs religion

God told to Abraham : " I will make you a great nation"( Genesis 12:2).  When Israel started the journey from Egypt they was a large number of peoples.  They mingled with the gentiles and learned their work ( psalms 106:35). So they adopted their manners and adopted on their journey. They made a statue, asked for a king and turned to polytheism.

This is no happened on christianity. When christianity became a religion they adopted the manners of other religions. Come out from the religious view and worship God. That is real christianity.

Christianity not a religion it is a life and a journey.

In next blog I want to share lifestyle of a christian.
