Trinity: The Christian Doctrine says that there are three distinct persons, the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each of these shows that each person is fully God, and that there is only one God. The Father sent the Son and the Father and the Son sent the Holy Spirit, symbolizing that all of these are different persons.
Church: The church is a place, or organization, that is used for public worship. In the bible, the church is defined as a mob, the children of Israel, and the body of Christ. People who attend church tend to be religious and enjoy the company of fellow believers. The church is not a kingdom, as the church os on earth and the kingdom of God is in heaven.
Salvation: Salvation is the saving from danger and suffering and refers to the protection of oneself. In the bible, salvation and saving are often interchangeable. Only God can save us from sins so that we are saved and have salvation. "The deliverance, by the grace of God, from the eternal punishment of sin..."
Kingdom of God: The kingdom of God and the kingdom of heaven are synonyms. They are used to express the peacefulness of heaven and the freedom that God will allow you. God is the highest figure in Christianity and is the "king" therefore has his kingdom is heaven.
Sin: The first sin named in the bible is when Adam and Eve eat from the tree of knowledge. When translating the bible, sin is literally translated to "missing the mark". The mark in this case would be God's word and not following the ten commandments. Sin is forgiven by God through confession.
Resurrection: Resurrection is the act of raising from the dead. The death and resurrection of Jesus is the central point of the religion of Christianity. Jesus died on the cross and resurrected into heaven on the third day. Jesus' resurrection shows his defeat of death and how powerful the Son of God is. This resurrection gives Christian's a living hope.
Repentance: Repentance means to "turn from sin" or "to change one's mine". Repentance is recognizing that our sin is offensive to God. The Old Testaments calls for repentances. It is said that there can be no faith in God without repentance.
Reconciliation: Reconciliation is the change or exchange. It involves the change in the relationship between God and man. "God gave us the ministry of reconciliation". Reconciliation is also related to justification and has been justified through faith and his blood.
Grace: Grace is one of the most important concepts the bible and in christianity. It is expressed in the promises of God revealed in the scripture and embodied in Jesus Christ. Grace is the love of God shown to everyone, even those who were unlovely.
Sacrament: Sacrament is a Christian right ordained by Christ and that is held to be a means of divine grace or to be a sign of spiritual reality. Sacrament means to be holy or to be consecrate. A holy person or priest performs a sacrament.
