The Basics of Christianity

Many people have had enough exposure to Christianity to become inoculated against it. They have been influenced by anti-Christian propaganda in the media and in intellectual circles. As a result, it’s more difficult to reach them with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Fortunately, there are several books available that explain the basics of Christianity.

During Jesus’ earthly ministry, he performed many miracles. Some of them were recorded in the four Gospels. The most significant are in the Gospel of Mark, which records 37 miracles by Jesus. Some of these miracles revealed the Trinity and Jesus’ divinity. One miracle, the turning of water into wine, is considered the first miracle and revealed that Jesus was the Son of God.

One of the most important teachings of Christianity is that Christ was capable of driving out demons. The New Testament begins with Christ healing a man with an evil spirit. This shows that the gospel writers intended to keep people aware of demon activity. However, this teaching does not necessarily mean that Christians should avoid demons.

In addition, Christians believe that the sacraments can be powerful healing means. According to the Catechism, Jesus touched sick people during his ministry and continues to heal through the sacraments. Through the Eucharist and other sacraments, Jesus Christ gives us life and immortality.
