Christianity is built on a foundation of beliefs that guide the faith and practice of millions around the world. Among these, five key tenets are particularly central: the belief that the Bible is the Word of God, that Christ is the Son of God, that God loves each person and has a plan for their life, that God cares for the quality of human life, and that God desires a personal relationship with each individual. These beliefs shape the Christian understanding of God, humanity, and the world.
