   The Christian faith has existed since the time that Jesus Christ was on earth. Followers of Jesus have had different understandings about many things, but all true Christians agree that Jesus Christ is a revelation of God in the flesh.
   
   Christians believe that they they are made for the true God, who loves them but cannot accept them on the basis of their own imperfect record. Doing and being wrong separates them from God and destroys the relationship with God. The relationship is restored when they trust Jesus and what He did for them - in dying to bear their sins pay for their guilt, and in rising from the dead. That is to say, Jesus paid the "fine" for them which they deserve for their wrongdoing and disobedience.
   
   The Christian faith is really about faith in the resurrected Jesus, who did all this and more for them. Jesus of Nazareth, who lived historically on the earth 2000 years ago, made a definite impact on the people of Israel through his teaching and healing ministry. But it is his resurrection and continued intervention in the lives of His followers that has meant that today He has hundreds of millions who believe in Him and trust Him. Today the Holy Spirit is working all over the earth to reveal Jesus to people in different ways, primarily through the Scriptures of the Holy Bible as they are preached and read.
