The foundation is the origin, the beginning, or the core of something. It is evident that everything has its own foundation. A nation has its foundation, an institution has its foundation, a tribe has its foundation—likewise, faith has its foundation. So, when we return to Christianity, what is the foundation of its faith? The foundation of Christianity is JESUS CHRIST Himself, and the work He accomplished—His death and resurrection. It is not the church, a denomination, a certain tradition, or a particular activist group. Without Jesus, there is no Christianity. He is likened to the chief cornerstone, without which no builder can erect a lasting structure. 1 Peter 2:6 (KJV)“Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.” The full story of Jesus and the work He came to do on earth can be found in only one book—the BIBLE. Therefore, you cannot separate the Bible from Jesus Christ. For a person to be persuaded to receive the faith, they must first hear His gospel, which is found in the Word of God—that is, the Bible. Romans 10:17 (KJV)“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” In order for someone to be called a Christian, they must first know who Christ is and why He came to earth; otherwise, they cannot be a Christian, even if they join a church or denomination, follow all its traditions, or read the entire Bible—that person is still not yet a Christian. It is very important to know who Jesus is to us. Knowing Jesus as the Son of God may still not give you salvation. Even knowing Him as God might not be enough to save you (though both are true of Him). But those titles alone are not the core of Christianity. So, who is Jesus, and what did He bring to the world? Jesus is the REDEEMER, as the meaning of His name indicates. Matthew 1:21 (KJV)“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.” A redeemer of what? He came to redeem our souls, spirits, and bodies. And according to spiritual law, in order for this to happen, a perfect sacrifice (one without any blemish, that is, without sin) had to be offered. Jesus alone met this requirement. That is why it cost Him His life—to die as a ransom so that we might receive the remission and forgiveness of sins through His death. Therefore, whoever believes (that is, accepts this salvation He brought)—through true repentance and baptism—is saved. From that moment, the wrath of God upon all sinners no longer abides on them. That person is now called blessed, or a Christian, because their sins have been completely wiped away. Moreover, such a person immediately receives the gift of the Holy Spirit, who from that moment onward dwells within them as a Helper—helping in weaknesses, in prayer, in understanding the truth, reminding them of the words of Jesus, revealing things to come, giving them strength to serve God, and empowering them to overcome sin. That is a true Christian. The question is—have you believed properly? Or have you received Him only in a religious way? Don’t think that switching religions makes you a Christian. Don’t assume that being born into a Christian family makes you a Christian. Don’t think that studying theology makes you a Christian. No, these are just outward motions. True Christianity comes from understanding who Christ is and what He has done for you. If you are not yet saved and you desire to receive Him today so that your sins may be forgiven, that is the best decision you could ever make.
