What Is Christianity?
Simply put. Will not get deep.
John 3:3
Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
John 3:7
Marvel not that I said to you, You must be born again.
1 Peter 1:23
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which lives and stays for ever.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Jesus said, marvel not, you must be born again. Not, marvel not, you must form good habits, or do good works, or endure time,but you must be born again or re-created in Christ Jesus to enter the Kingdom of God. And also if you are in Christ, (with no specified length of time, so immediately), you are a new creation, with old things or ways gone and ALL things and ways new.
2 Timothy 2:15
Study to show yourself approved to God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
After you've been born again, you are to study to shew or to make appear in this life or existence, your new self approvED, past tense or what has already happened when you were born again. This scripture is an instruction for those already born again, and not a general instruction to all of mankind. You who are not born again are already proving it.
James 1:2
My brothers, count it all joy when you fall into divers temptations;
Then, when Satan, not God, but Satan, the Tempter gives you a "pop quiz" or trial, like a well prepared student, you will smile and just enjoy the moment, that your new life, and recreation surely has appeared to all. You are tempted to muve to the right or left. There is no lust issue that the Devil can connect with, and draw you away from who you are, and what you are supposed to be doing. You have overcome.
But once again. The trial, just like studying, didn't make you, it was the act of being born again, by believing with your heart and confessing with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and then acting accordingly.
This is the full, accurate gospel. This is Christianity.
Jesus Is Lord!
