## Obedience

You have to regularly spend time reading the Bible and praying. A
bastion of your faith is forgiveness. You forgive others for theirs sins
 against you, and seek forgiveness from those you've sinned against
including God himself.

For two hours after you spend at least half an hour reading the
Bible you gain a +2 sacred bonus on saving throws against Enchantment,
Illusion, and Necromancy spells and effects.

## Information

Followers of the One True God have many names and titles for Him, but
 call their faith Christianity. As the name suggests, they believe that
He is the only true god and that He created the universe and all that's
in it.

Christianity does not have a sacred animal or color, instead He
has a holy text called the Bible. Christians believe that the Bible is
the inspired, “God-breathed” Word of God and that its teaching is the
final authority in all matters of faith and practice (2 Timothy 3:16; 2
Peter 1:20-21).

The core beliefs of Christianity are summarized in 1 Corinthians
15:1-4. Jesus died for our sins, was buried, was resurrected, and
thereby offers salvation to all who will receive Him in faith. Unique
among all other faiths, Christianity is more about a relationship than
religious practices. Instead of adhering to a list of “do’s and don’ts,”
 the goal of a Christian is to cultivate a close walk with God. That
relationship is made possible because of the work of Jesus Christ and
the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

Beyond these core beliefs, there are many other items that are,
or at least should be, indicative of what Christianity is and what
Christianity believes. Christians believe in one God that exists in
three persons—the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit.

Christians believe that mankind was created specifically to have a
 relationship with God, but sin separates all men from God (Romans 3:23;
 5:12). Christianity teaches that Jesus Christ walked this earth, fully
God, and yet fully man (Philippians 2:6-11), and died on the cross.
Christians believe that after His death, Christ was buried, He rose
again, and now lives at the right hand of the Father, making
intercession for the believers forever (Hebrews 7:25). Christianity
proclaims that Jesus’ death on the cross was sufficient to completely
pay the sin debt owed by all men and this is what restores the broken
relationship between God and man (Hebrews 9:11-14; 10:10; Romans 5:8;
6:23).

Christianity teaches that in order to be saved and be granted
entrance into heaven after death, one must place one’s faith entirely in
 the finished work of Christ on the cross. If we believe that Christ
died in our place and paid the price of our own sins, and rose again,
then we are saved. There is nothing that anyone can do to earn
salvation. We cannot be “good enough” to please God on our own, because
we are all sinners (Isaiah 53:6; 64:6-7). There is nothing more to be
done, because Christ has done all the work! When He was on the cross,
Jesus said, “It is finished” (John 19:30), meaning that the work of
redemption was completed.

According to Christianity, salvation is freedom from the old sin
nature and freedom to pursue a right relationship with God. Where we
were once slaves to sin, we are now slaves to Christ (Romans 6:15-22).
As long as believers live on this earth in their sinful bodies, they
will engage in a constant struggle with sin. However, Christians can
have victory in the struggle with sin by studying and applying God’s
Word in their lives and being controlled by the Holy Spirit—that is,
submitting to the Spirit’s leading in everyday circumstances.

So, while many religious systems require that a person do or not
do certain things, Christianity is about believing that Christ died on
the cross as payment for our own sins and rose again. Our sin debt is
paid and we can have fellowship with God. We can have victory over our
sin nature and walk in fellowship and obedience with God. That is true
biblical Christianity.
