• God the Father forgives those who sin
• Christians believe God the Father is the supreme ruler and creator of all
• Christians believe that before the first christmas, Jesus lived with God the Father in heaven

• Jesus:

  • did miracles; turning water into wine
  • experienced pain; mainly in cruxifiction
  • his death and ressurection healed the rift between God and humans
• Christians believe Jesus existed before taking human form
• Holy Spirit is the third form of God which is present in today's world. Its a spiritual state of God which exists in our minds if we believe in him
• Holy Spirit is often depicted as wind, rain or in the form of a dove
• Jesus promised his apostles to send the holy spirit to guide them at his ressurection and cruxifiction “The Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all

  things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.”
• God is also viewed as a loving father. This

  means that he cares and loves humanity,

  as a father loves his son. This is shown in

  the Parable of the Prodigal Son.
• In the parable, despite the son having squandered his early

  inheritance, the father still welcomes him home with open arms and a

  celebration. In the same way, God welcomes back those who have sinned

  and now seek to be reconciled with him.
• Jesus is God Incarnate - human form of god
• Christians believe Jesus was sacrificed for the sins of humankind, which

  allows them to be reunited with God after death.
• It is also through the Holy Spirit that Christians receive grace and gifts

  from God, such as faithfulness and self-control: “...the fruit of the Spirit

  is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

  gentleness and self-control.”
