The framework of Christianity is defined in three laws. One of which is the Old Testament. Another is the instruction of the Gospel. And the last one is the Catholic, Orthodox and the Anglican churches. The Old Testament was created during the 12th and 2nd century before Jesus was born. Most Christians accept The New Testament as a historical account, even the resurrection which of their faith. In the Christianity law it is often contrasted with Grace. Christians believe that salvation is a gift by means of the unmerited grace of god. They believe that through the faith in Jesus one can be saved from all their sins and eternal death. Now, a way to gain salvation is by obedience to a code of laws opposed seeking salvation through faith. Salvation is being saved from something such as suffering or the punishment of sins. Another is being saved for something such as the afterlife or participating in the Reign of God. The Trinity is often regarded as an essential of the mainstream of Christianity. It is held by many to be complex concept and there are many different interpretations of it. The one that can be mostly understood of the Holy Trinity is that one God exists as three individuals The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. God is both immanence and transcendence “Father, Son and Holy Spirit.” God is believed to be infinite and God’s present may be perceived through the actions of Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Some individual’s denominations of Christianity practice Christian’s faith in different ways, but all Christians must accept three things. That Jesus is God in the Flesh. Jesus rose from the dead in the same body he died in, in order to cleanse all mankind from their sins. Forgiveness of sins is by grace through faith.
