Sacraments are special religious ceremonies that represent deeper spiritual experiences - think of them as visible signs of invisible faith. Christians recognise two main sacraments that every believer should understand.
Baptism is your official entry ticket into Christianity. It's the ceremony where you become a member of the Christian church, following Jesus's own example and his command to "baptise them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." This is when Christians believe your sins are forgiven and you become a true 'child of God.'
There's actually a bit of debate about when baptism should happen. Infant baptism involves baptising babies (Catholics love this approach to remove original sin), while believers baptism waits until you're old enough to choose faith for yourself (Baptists prefer this method). Both are valid - it's just different timing!
Holy Communion (also called the Eucharist) recreates Jesus's Last Supper using bread and wine. The bread represents Jesus's body, the wine represents his blood - pretty powerful symbolism! Some Christians (like Catholics) believe the bread and wine literally become Jesus's body and blood through transubstantiation, whilst others see them as meaningful symbols to help remember Jesus's sacrifice.
Quick Tip Remember that without baptism, many Christians believe you can't fully enter heaven - it's that important!
Easter absolutely dominates the Christian calendar as their most crucial celebration. It's a double-header Good Friday remembers Jesus's crucifixion (his sacrifice for humanity's sins), while Easter Sunday celebrates his resurrection. Christians roll eggs to represent the stone rolling away from Jesus's tomb - quite a clever bit of symbolism!
This festival matters because it proves two massive things God's incredible love for humans ("for God so loved the world he gave his only son") and that death isn't the end. The resurrection was witnessed by over 500 people, showing that eternal life is real and Jesus truly was God's son.
Christmas celebrates Jesus's birth and the incarnation - the mind-blowing idea that God became human. Churches fill with nativity stories, hymns, and services that help Christians remember this incredible moment when the divine entered our world.
Both festivals demonstrate God's love and provide the pathway to salvation. Through Jesus's birth, death, and resurrection, Christians believe humans can achieve eternal life and escape the consequences of original sin.
Key Point Easter trumps Christmas in importance - it's the resurrection that proves Jesus's divine nature and makes salvation possible!
Mission work and evangelism drive Christianity's growth worldwide. These terms describe sharing the Christian faith - the "good news" about Jesus - with others. Missionaries travel globally to spread this message, following Jesus's command to "make disciples of all nations."
Christians have mixed feelings about converting others though. Some believe strongly that "no-one comes to the Father except through me" means you must be Christian to reach heaven. Others reckon all religions are valid paths to God, so they focus more on "love your neighbour" rather than conversion.
Churches absolutely smash it when helping local communities. Food banks feed struggling families, street pastors support homeless people and troubled youth, and countless local charities receive church backing. Why? Jesus was crystal clear help those in need and "love your neighbour as yourself."
On the global stage, organisations like Christian Aid tackle worldwide poverty and injustice. Churches also work for reconciliation - rebuilding broken relationships. South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission after apartheid shows churches leading healing between communities, whilst confession offers personal reconciliation with God.
Real Talk When Christians face persecution (imprisonment or mistreatment for their beliefs), churches respond with forgiveness ("forgive seventy times seven") whilst campaigning to help victims - showing love even to enemies.
