What is Christianity?

I just got this question from a student, begging me to explain Christianity because he hates religion. Well, Christianity is not a religion, it is far different from religion, it is more than a religion. The meaning of religion is the belief in and worship of a supernatural controlling power, especially a god or gods. It also means a particular worship or faith. Christianity is far from it, it is a fellowship with Christ. Christianity is the life of God in you. Religion will never tell you this, religion enslaves. My friend once told me that religion is the major problem of the word and that's why he is neither a Christian, Muslim or Buddihist e.t.c. because they are all religions. I told him immediately Christianity is not the problem of the world, instead, it is the solution to the world's problem. As a Christian, you are entitled to everything in the entire universe. You are a seed of Abraham. There are some character you possess as a Christian. They include love, joy, kindness, peace, patience, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.(Galatians 5:22). These are the fruits of the spirit and you must continually walk in the consciousness of these. There are some gifts given to you by God(1 cor 12:8-11). Our lord Jesus Christ, the word of God, came into the world to die for the sin of humanity. He has done his work and has made us ambassadors of the gospel to save souls here on earth.( Obadiah 1:22). We as Christians must win souls to God. This is God's number one job given to Christains. We must win souls.(Mark 16:15). Soul winning gives you a great joy in your heart, that you can never experience unless you start winning souls. Do not let the devil deceive you, you need to know who you are and what you possess as a Christian. Jesus is Lord. The people of Isreal were God's chosen people, expecting a messiah. There believe was that he was going to bring hope to the people of Isreal. Yes, he did. Judaism is gone with the holy spirit. Christianity is different from Judaism. Jesus came into this world to end Judaism and brought Christianity. Jesus was born into the family of Joseph, an heir of king David. He came as fully God and fully man, equally divine and human. That is who Jesus has made us today, we are equally divine and human. Jesus was born in a most miraculous way you can imagine. He was born of a virgin, by the spirit of God. When we become born again, we are born of the spirit. We become divine and human. Jesus's childhood was exceptional. He taught in the temple while his parent searched for him. When the moment came, he began to preach, teach and perform Miracles. He actually gave himself for humanity, that all may be saved to God.Jesus died, was buried and rose on the third day. Jesus conquered sin and death in order to bring humans back to God after a broken relationship in the garden of Eden. He died for us from the permanent consequences of sins, the separation and isolation from God. He ascended into heaven after forty years after he was raised from the dead. He has given us from the holy spirit of promise, which we christains operate with today. Through Jesus we  can attain eternal life in relationship with God. Jesus said''I am the way, truth and life''. One day Christ is coming to take Christians back to God. If you don't want to miss heaven because you are not born again. Pray this prayer of faith.'' Lord Jesus, come into my life today. I proclaim you as my lord and saviour. I am saved in Jesus name. Amen...''
