Christian Basics — for households and first-time visitors
These pages answer the questions people are most afraid to ask. Who is Jesus? What is the Gospel? How do I pray? What is faith? Written simply, faithfully, for anyone standing at the door of the Christian faith — whether you have never opened a Bible, or you have opened one for fifty years and want to revisit the ground beneath your feet.
Every page is anchored in the King James Bible.
The nine basics
- Who is Jesus? — the Son of God, the Word made flesh, the Saviour.
- What is the Gospel? — the good news that God saves sinners through Christ.
- How to Pray — a simple guide to Christian prayer.
- What is Salvation? — being saved from sin and death, into life with God.
- What is Faith? — trust in a God who has spoken and acted.
- Understanding the Trinity — one God, three Persons.
- Understanding Grace — the unearned kindness of God.
- Understanding Forgiveness — how God forgives, how we forgive one another.
- How to Read the Bible — a simple household guide.
Where to start
If you are new: start with Who is Jesus? Then What is the Gospel? Then What is Salvation? In that order the whole Christian faith unfolds.
If you are returning: begin wherever the ground feels shakiest. The pages are short. Peace be to this house.
