How Christians came to be

Christianity, one of the world’s major religions, originated over 2,000 years ago in Judea. It is a historical religion, that is, based on belief in specific events described in books called the Gospels. These four books (or rather, four editions of the same book, whose Greek title literally translates as “good news” or “good news”) tell of the birth, life, death, and miraculous resurrection of Jesus Christ. In Russian, anointed, the Messiah, the King, since anointing is a royal epithet. “Jesus the King” is how it sounded in Greek and Latin.

In fact, the news of Christ’s resurrection is the most important “good news,” the good news told by the first Christians, the so-called apostles – the messengers sent by the already risen Jesus to all nations for baptism and teaching. The resurrection of Christ serves as the main guarantor of the faithfulness of the path indicated by Him, the goal of which is to overcome death and achieve a certain special blissful state, which is usually called “the life of the age to come.
