Is Christianity a Religion?

by Kentucky Country Day

Religion is one of the most significant influences of most people’s lives. Even the people who do not really believe in any conventional religion, like the atheists, the agnostics, the relativists and humanists, are influenced by religion. This is because a vast majority of people do believe in some religion, some to a greater degree and some less. Since no individual is an island, it is obvious that every body would get influenced from religions, whether one believes in them or not. So developing an understanding of various religions is quite important.

When one considers the various religions, there are probably several thousands of them, but only a few are followed by a majority of the world’s population. These religions are referred to as the major religions of the world. They are Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Judaism. Of these major religions, Christianity has by far the largest number of followers. So it is desirable to have a fair understanding of Christianity.

So what is Christianity ? The common answer would be, it is a religion. But this answer is not exactly correct. It limits the power of the teachings of Jesus Christ. Christianity is more about developing a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is only when one approaches Christianity in this manner that one can fully appreciate what being a true Christian means. When one believes in the teachings of Jesus Christ, he or she would try earnestly to develop a relationship with Him. This would lead him beyond other religious people who are more enthusiastic about observing customs and rituals. They may be full of knowledge and great debaters but are spiritually dead.

Christianity is not simply a set of rituals and customs. It is about surrendering to Jesus Christ. People all over the world, whether religious or not, are plagued with doubts and questions. This happens when they treat Christianity as a religion, rather than as a relationship. When they view it as a relationship and work on building it, they would lift their consciousness. The central point of Christianity is knowing God, knowing Him personally. When one achieves that one is able to transcend the sufferings of daily existence. Once you have had the experience of God, you will experience a tremendous and positive transformation. Just like Saul did – he was a murderer who turned into a mighty man of God with just one vision of Christ.
