Serious Question, Christian Welcome

Your question is simple yet complicated. I am very glad that you bring that up.

First, you mentioned what we should "believe". John 3:16 states " God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son so that whoever believes in him may not be lost, but have eternal life." This verse is pretty self-explanatory. Yet it may lead to another question, "what and how do we believe we Jesus?"

Before we go into the proposed question, let's look at the 2nd part of the question. What should we "recognize"? I think the first thing we should recognize is our relationship with God. Who is God to you? Genesis 1:1 states that "in the begining God created the sky and the earth". Later on you will find that God created other things including human being. From this we can conclude that God is our creator. If you believe that, then you are ready to establish a personal relationship with God. We develope our relationship with God through communication --- we read His words (the Bible), we talk to him (pray), and we praise and give thanks to what He has given us, and that's how we worship God because He deserves it. By reading the Bible, you will learn a lot more about God and what is the Christian faith based on so I highly recommand you to do that.

I think by recognizing your relationship with God, which leads to understanding God's characteristics and His plan, you will be able to see what and how we believe in Jesus.

So basically, just to sum up what I just said, Christianity is about believing that Jesus Christ is our personal saviour. Since we admit that He is our saviour, we recongize His role in our life. And here comes with all the things Christians should and should not do.

And of course, if you not do recognize the authority of the Bible, then what I said would mean nothing to you. But the thing is, if you don't even recognize the authority of God (that He is our Creator, our Lord, our Saviour) in the first place, how can you not question all those "myths" in the Bible? So, if you really are sincere about this faith, I think you should pray. God will listen to your prayer even though you don't know him; He knows you long long time ago. Share with Him with all your doubts, questions and uncertainties. Open the Bible, you will find the answer.

Start reading the Bible with the Book of John. It's the 4th book in the New Testament. In that book you will learn a lot more about Jesus.

If you don't have a bible, here's an official link to the NIV version:

Hope you are not too confused > <
I know I am sounding like I am running in a circle; but think about this --- isn't it true for all relationship? It's a two ways thing! God is reaching to you my friend, don't be afraid and step forward. You will have your question answered.

In the end of the Bible it says, "The Spirit and the bride say, 'Come!' Let the one who hears this say, 'Come!' Let whoever is thristy come; whoever wishes may have the water of life as free gift" (Revelation 22:17)

May the wisdom from God be with you always!

基督信仰的教義是──
上帝差派耶穌為世人的救主，只要悔改接受祂，罪就能被赦免，得到永生，詳解如下：

世人被罪所轄制，故有死亡疾病煩惱，而福音就是上帝藉耶穌要讓世人與祂和好，重新建立被犯罪所破壞的關係。上帝造世人原意要我們與祂同在，並要受託去管理受造的世界，人原本是有權柄與榮耀，但因罪而失去，於是藉著耶穌基督而被挽回、過犯被赦免、重新恢復尊貴身份，將來與上帝一同管理新天新地，那是一個永恆福樂的新宇宙，公義和平永居其中，不再有痛苦與悲傷。

要做基督徒，即係要跟隨主耶穌

咩叫跟隨主耶穌?
即係學耶穌做人處事既方式
令基督徒更似耶穌
例如: 耶穌會講: 要愛人如己，要原諒人七十個七次~ 等等
基督徒都一定要學
雖然要人學耶穌做既事，真係幾難 (耶穌好勁，亦好高要求)
但係學做耶穌係基督教既目標~

基督徒亦要係耶穌面前認罪悔改
因為人都犯左罪，得罪左神
係罪令人唔可以同神一齊係天堂
所以，做基督徒要係耶穌面前認罪悔改
耶穌就會用佢復活既能力，卸免人既罪，人無罪，就可以去到無罪既天堂架啦~

經文:
你若口裡認耶穌為主，心裡信神叫祂從死裡復活，就必得救。
因為人心裡相信，就可以稱義，口裡承認，就可以得救。

基本要理我相信有很多
但我認為最重要的是愛神並愛人如己。
基督教是十分強調愛的一個宗教。
我們做什麼，做多做少並不重要
重要的是我們付出多少愛。

咩係要理??

其實只要 1.) 遵守十誡 ....2.) 愛主愛人.... 已經係一個好好既基督徒~~
唔使講咁多要理呀個d 野....只要按主既旨意去做就ok 啦

「不要問，只要信 ! 」

問: 基本要理=基本教義?基本行為?定係咩?
純粹想樓主講清楚少少，keep下中文水平.......
