Christians are people who acknowledge Jesus Christ as the son of God and seek to follow his teaching. They believe that Jesus lived, suffering and died as a man on earth, and that by his death and resurrection from the dead the sins of the world are paid for and so wiped away. This belief can find very different expression, and can be interpreted in many ways. At the heart of Christianity is personal faith in Jesus, the practice of prayer and contemplation, and a share live in the Church. Christianity is the most widespread religion in the world.
