Core Beliefs of Christianity
Christianity as a religion is comprised of numerous denominations. Every denomination
has its unique doctrines that vary considerably from other faiths. However, Christianity as a
religion has some beliefs that are commonly shared by all the Christians. All Christians believe
in the supremacy and monotheism (McGrath, 2016). In other words, Christians believe in the
existence of God who is greater than anything else. Christians agree on the attributes of God as
omnipresent, omniscient, creator, immutable and omnipotent. Additionally, there is also the
belief in the holy trinity (God the Father, God the son and God the Holy Spirit). Jesus is also
believed to be the son of God that was given to die on the cross to save mankind. Jesus died and
rose on the third day and ascended to heaven (McGrath, 2016). For this reason, Christians are
saved through accepting Jesus as the savior. Another common belief is the belief in the bible. All
Christians believe that Bible is the only Holy book that was inspired by God. It is also a flawless
and authoritative book that was written by the word of God (Rhodes, 2015). Moreover,
Christians share the belief that there will be second coming of Jesus Christ. The righteous will
inherit the heavenly kingdom as the sinful will be condemned to eternal fire.
