It is a simple fact that throughout the history of the world just about everyone has believed in some sort of god. Religion, like music and art or our longing for good relationships, is one of the few things shared by every human culture that has ever existed.

The Christian understands that God is a personal being who has revealed himself to us in history in the person of Jesus Christ. They further believe that Jesus’ death on their behalf was God’s great act of love that reconciles us to him.
