The True Meaning Of Christianity by IAmKinging(m): 6:25pm On Jun 03, 2018
It's high time we stopped categorising Christianity as one of the religions. Christianity is not a religion. God did not create any religion. Religions were formed by men to separate people based on their beliefs, whereas God created man as one. God formed man and gave him dominion over the world (Gen. 1:27-28). But man lost that power through disobedience (Gen. 3).

Now because of God's mercy and perfect sacrifice of Jesus, man has the chance to obtain the power of dominion again if he accepts the Lordship of Jesus Christ (His death, burial and resurrection), Rom 10:9-10. That's where Christianity (eternal life, the life of God working in man) comes to bear.
The event in Antioch (Acts. 11:26) brought about the name Christian - meaning "like Christ".
Therefore, Christianity is used not as a religion, but for those who are the body (Church) of Christ, who have the same life that Jesus Christ has.

In Christianity God has given man Three Cardinal Gifts:
1. Eternal Life. (Rom. 6:23, Tit. 1:1-3, 2Tim. 1:10)
2. Righteousness. (Rom. 5:17)
3. The Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:38)
And these gifts cannot be found in any religion, except in the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
