Getting Started with God is a series like Christianity 101.
Christianity is not a religion… it is a relationship! It is a positive relationship with God through the person of Jesus Christ. Men and women have described the Christian Faith in trillions of words and in millions of books, but it all boils down to one simple experience; A positive relationship with God through the person of Jesus Christ. I hasten to add that it is just as important to make clear what Christianity is not.
For example: It is not a set of strict rules. After all, you can think all the right thoughts, believe all the right creeds, be theologically correct in all your convictions and practices and still not have any kind of a personal relationship with God.
Each of us here comes across people who believe all the basics of the Christian faith, and yet their hearts are still as empty and as lost.
The ancient truths of the Christian faith will not save you from the pit of emptiness or from the temptations of selfishness.
