Part II- Focused Study

Christianity main points

  Christianity is formed on the basis that the human condition is sin. The only way to be granted life in heaven and not burn in the eternal hell of the afterlife is to be pardoned for your sins and live an ethical life. Sin includes acts that are condoned in the bible and primarily the ten commandments and include things like murder, sex before marriage, robbery, and cheating. Smaller sins and rules exist in the religion and these form the foundation for how a Christian should live their life. We as humans were created by God, whose love surrounds us and guides us through our lives. This is one of the fundamental beliefs of Christians. It is human nature to sin, but with the help of God and living in a holy manner that includes ethical values will help one be pardoned when they are ultimately judged for their acts. Following God and the teaching of Jesus Christ is key in living as a Christian.
  The ultimate goal of any Christian is to reach heaven and not be sent to the burning hell below. Heaven grants eternal life and is the throne of God. It is home to angels and perfection and the only way to win a ticket is to seek forgiveness for lifes sins. If one does not live a life of God and love then some believe (Roman Catholic) that they will be sent to purgatory, or a state of suffering who are getting rid of their sins before reaching heaven.
  As has been said above, achieving the rightful passage to heaven requires a forgiven life that is lead through the eyes of God and with love. Christians who follow the ten commandments and are forgiven, as well as learn, from their sins may be granted passage into perfect heaven. Man is considered a slave to the sin with which we are born and they must therefore live with the grace of God to eventually reach heaven. Jesus was the sacrifice for the original sin of Eve, and a Christian must practice the religion with gratitude and forgiveness.
