Christians believe Jesus to be the Son of God and the Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament. Christianity is the world's biggest religion, with about 2.1 billion followers worldwide. and is based on the teachings of Jesus Christ who lived in the Holy Land 2,000 years ago. A Christian is a religious person who believes Jesus is the Christ and who is a member of a Christian denomination. Christianity began as a Jewish sect and Christians accept the Hebrew Bible, the Old Testament as a part of its scriptures. There are some important differences in interpretation and opinion, Christians in the Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Protestant and other traditions share a common faith. Central to the Christian belief is that, through the death and resurrection of Jesus, sinful humans can be reconciled to God and thereby are offered salvation and the promise of eternal life. Worship The worship and prayers of Christians acknowledge God as the Source of all our help. Our needs are necessarily in our minds when we pray. We think of them in order to ask Him to help us; and we think of them again when we thank Him for the help which we have already had. Forms of worship should, if possible, unite the most diverse features of character, occupation, danger, trial, suffering and joy. Worship and Prayers - Our Father, The Lord's Prayer The words are as follows: Our Father who art in heaven; Hallowed be Thy Name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven; Give us this day our daily bread; And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; And lead us not into temptation; But deliver us from evil; For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen. The words suggest the following: - Hallowed be Thy Name................Ask for Reverence

The greatest thing any one can do for God and for man is to pray. It is not the only thing. But it is the chief thing. A correct balancing of the possible powers one may exert puts it first. For if a man is to pray right, he must first be right in his motives and life. And if a man be right, and put the practice of praying in its right place, then his serving and giving and speaking will be great with the presence of God. The meaning of Amen in Prayers The word 'Amen' is a Hebrew word meaning firm and faithful. The literal translation is 'so be it' and is used where one person confirms the words of another, and adds his wish for success to the other's vows and predictions. |
