Followers of Jesus are keepers of a flame that's been passed down through the centuries, dating back to the first men and women who knew him. That flame is what we call doctrine--the set of beliefs that make up the heart of Christianity. Followers of Jesus believe that God exists. That God is a Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). That Jesus lived a perfect life, died, and rose again on the third day. That Jesus is, in fact, God in flesh. That, though we are broken, we can be redeemed and inhabited by the very Spirit of God. While beautiful, Christian belief can be mysterious and difficult to understand.
