How Was Christianity Formed? What Is True Christianity?

By Rita, United States

    There are many people in the world who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and Christianity has also spread all over the world. However, as for what exactly a church is and what Christianity is, those who haven’t experienced God’s work cannot explain them clearly. Therefore, only by researching God’s appearance and work can we understand how a church arose and how Christianity was formed.

How was Christianity formed?

    What is Christianity? Christianity is made up of those who believe that Jesus is Christ and the son of the only true God. As is known to all, Christianity was produced by the appearance and work of the Lord Jesus two thousand years ago. The Lord Jesus is the incarnate God and Christ, so all churches that believed in the Lord Jesus came to form Christianity, which is to say, all churches that believe in Christ belong to Christianity.

To Have an Unchanged Disposition Is to Be in Enmity to God

  After several thousand years of corruption, man has become numb and dull-witted, a demon that opposes God, to the extent that man’s rebelliousness toward God has been documented in the books of history, and even man himself is incapable of giving a full account of his rebellious behavior—for man has been profoundly corrupted by Satan, and has been led astray by Satan that he knows not where to turn. Even today, man still betrays God: When man sees God, he betrays Him, and when he cannot see God, so too does he betray Him. There are even those who, having witnessed God’s curses and God’s wrath, still betray Him. And so I say that man’s sense has lost its original function, and that man’s conscience, too, has lost its original function. The man that I look upon is a beast in human attire, he is a venomous snake, and no matter how pitiable he tries to appear before My eyes, I will never be merciful toward him, for man has no grasp of the difference between black and white, of the difference between truth and non-truth. Man’s sense is so benumbed, yet he still wishes to gain blessings; his humanity is so ignoble yet he still wishes to possess the sovereignty of a king. Who could he be the king of, with sense such as that? How could he with such a humanity sit atop a throne? Man truly has no shame! He is a conceited wretch! For those of you who wish to gain blessings, I suggest you first find a mirror and look at your own ugly reflection—do you have what it takes to be a king? Do you have the face of one who could gain blessings? There has not been the slightest change in your disposition and you have not put any of the truth into practice, yet you still wish for a wonderful tomorrow. You’re deluding yourself! Born into such a filthy land, man has been severely blighted by society, he has been influenced by feudal ethics, and he has been taught at “institutes of higher learning.” The backward thinking, corrupt morality, mean view on life, despicable philosophy, utterly worthless existence, and depraved lifestyle and customs—all of these things have severely intruded upon man’s heart, and severely undermined and attacked his conscience. As a result, man is ever more distant from God, and ever more opposed to Him. Man’s disposition becomes more vicious by the day, and there is not a single person who will willingly give up anything for God, not a single person who will willingly obey God, nor, moreover, a single person who will willingly seek the appearance of God. Instead, under the domain of Satan, man does nothing but pursue pleasure, giving himself over to the corruption of the flesh in the land of mud. Even when they hear the truth, those who live in darkness give no thought to putting it into practice, nor are they inclined to seek out God even if they have beheld His appearance. How could a mankind so depraved have any chance of salvation? How could a mankind so decadent live in the light?

Beholding the Appearance of God in His Judgment and Chastisement

    Like the hundreds of millions of others who follow the Lord Jesus Christ, we abide by the laws and commandments of the Bible, enjoy the abundant grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and gather together, pray, praise, and serve in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ—and all this we do under the care and protection of the Lord.  We are often weak, and we are also often strong. We believe that all of our actions are in accordance with the teachings of the Lord. It goes without saying, then, that we also believe ourselves to be on the path of obedience to the will of the Father in heaven. We long for the return of the Lord Jesus, for His glorious descent, for the end of our life on earth, for the appearance of the kingdom, and for everything as it was foretold in the Book of Revelation: The Lord arrives, He brings disaster, He rewards the good and punishes the wicked, and He takes all those who follow Him and welcome His return up to meet Him in the air. Whenever we think of this, we cannot but be overcome with emotion and filled with gratitude that we were born in the last days and have the good fortune to witness the coming of the Lord. Though we have suffered persecution, we have got in return “a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.” What a blessing! All of this longing, and the grace bestowed by the Lord, render us constantly sober unto prayer, and make us more diligent in gathering together. Maybe next year, maybe tomorrow, and again, maybe within a space of time shorter than man can conceive, the Lord shall suddenly descend, appearing among a group of people who have been waiting for Him with eager solicitude. We rush to get ahead of each other, none willing to fall behind, all for the sake of being in the first group to behold the appearance of the Lord, of being among those who are raptured. We have given everything, heedless of the cost, for the coming of this day, some leaving their jobs, some abandoning their families, some renouncing marriage, and some even donating all of their savings. What selfless acts of devotion! Such sincerity and loyalty is surely beyond even the saints of ages past! As the Lord bestows grace upon whomever He pleases, and shows mercy to whomever He pleases, our acts of devotion and of expending, we believe, have long since been beheld by His eyes. So, too, have our heartfelt prayers reached His ears, and we trust that the Lord will give us recompense for our dedication. Moreover, God had been gracious toward us before He created the world, and the blessings and promises He has given to us no one can take away. We are all planning for the future, and as a matter of course have made our dedication and expending into counter chips or capital to exchange for being raptured to meet the Lord in the air. What is more, we have, without the slightest hesitation, placed ourselves on the throne of the future, to preside over all nations and all peoples, or to reign as kings. All this we take as a given, as something to be expected.

2019 Christian Video "Have You Truly Repented?"

Christian Skit "Have You Truly Repented?"

The Lord Jesus said, "Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Matthew 4:17). Once, Zhang Ming'en was a preacher at a house church. He believed in the Lord for many years, and for all that time, he preached, worked, suffered, and expended for the Lord. After he accepted God's work of the last days, he was able to accept and submit to any duty arranged for him by the church, and he believed that through these good deeds, he had achieved genuine repentance and change. But, in a church election, Zhang Ming'en watched as other brothers and sisters were chosen as church leaders and deacons, while he was given the duty of hosting meetings. Although outwardly he appeared to accept and submit, he was very unhappy with it. When his wife exposes the fact that he hasn't sincerely repented and changed, Zhang Ming'en is deeply confused: If behavioral change can't be called genuine repentance and change, then just what is genuine repentance and change? Watch the skit Have You Truly Repented? to find out the answers.

We Have Entered Onto the Right Path of Life

Gospel Song | We Have Entered Onto the Right Path of Life

Verse 1

No one knows what setbacks

life is going to give them,

or what kind of refinement

they will be subject to.

For some it's in their work,

for some their future prospects,

or the family they were born in,

or it's in their marriage.

Christian Worship Song | A Cappella "The Result Achieved by Knowing God"

One day,

you will feel that the Creator

is no longer a riddle,

that the Creator has never been hidden from you,

that the Creator

has never concealed His face from you,

that the Creator is not at all far from you,

that the Creator is no longer the One that you constantly long for in your thoughts but that you cannot reach with your feelings,

that He is really and truly standing guard to your left and right,

supplying your life, and controlling your destiny, controlling your destiny.

He is not on the remote horizon, nor has He secreted Himself high up in the clouds.

He is right by your side, presiding over your all,

He is everything that you have, and He is the only thing you have.

Such a God

allows you to love Him from the heart,

cling to Him, hold Him close, admire Him,

fear to lose Him,

and be unwilling to renounce Him any longer, disobey Him any longer,

or any longer to evade Him or put Him at a distance.

All you want is to care for Him, obey Him,

requite all that He gives you, and surrender to His dominion.

You no longer refuse to be guided,

supplied, watched over, and kept by Him,

no longer refuse what He dictates and ordains for you,

what He dictates and ordains for you.

All you want is to follow Him, walk alongside Him to His left or right, to follow Him, walk alongside Him to His left or right,

all you want is to accept Him as your one and only Lord,

all you want is to accept Him as your one and only Lord, your one and only God.

The Heart's Voice of a Created Being

Verse 1

So often I wanted to cry out,

but no place ever felt right.

So often I wanted to sing aloud,

but nary a tune I could find.

So often I yearned to express

the love of a created being.

I searched high and I searched low,

but all the words

seemed to have failed me.

Almighty God,

You are the love in my heart.

The heart's voice of a created being.
