BBC lists the ‘Basics of Christian Belief:

God

• There is only one God

• God is a Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit

• God is perfect, omnipotent, everywhere, knows everything

• God created the universe, sustains it, and intervenes in it

• God loves everyone unconditionally (though people have to comply with various conditions in order to achieve salvation)

• Human beings can get to know God through prayer, worship, love, and mystical experiences

• Human beings can get to know God through God's grace - that is through his love and his power

​​

God the Son

• God lived on earth as Jesus

• Jesus was both wholly God and wholly human

• Jesus was born to a human woman, Mary, but conceived of the Holy Spirit

• Because Jesus was wholly human he was subject to pain, suffering, and sorrow like other human beings

• Jesus was executed by crucifixion but rose from the dead at the Resurrection

• Jesus's life provides a perfect example of how God wants people to live

• Jesus died on the cross so that those who believe in him will be forgiven all their sins and inherit eternal life.

​

God the Holy Spirit

• After the Resurrection, Jesus remained on earth for only a few days before going up into Heaven

• Jesus promised that he would stay with his followers, so after he went to Heaven he sent his Spirit to guide comfort, and encourage Christians

​

We can add three more:

• The Bible is the Word of God, or contains the Word of God

• The Church has been set up by God to be conduit between man and God

• The Christian Life consists mainly of prayer, bible reading and worship - and behaving decently.
