Summary/Abstract: Christianity is a way of life, discovered by God, through His Son, Jesus Christ, embodied in history. It is the most wonderful way of life on earth, because it invites all human nature to divine ennoblement! It is an invitation and not an obligation! Once the invitation is accepted, the standard is deification, and the means of attaining the goal are revealed in the life and teachings of Christ. The Christian is, in this sense, a Christ, here and now, a man who identifies himself in living, thinking, manifesting with Christ, assuming and healing the whole evil of the world and responding permanently with love. The example of goodness is not to be compared to the wicked, but because the goal itself is the likeness of God! Unfortunately, history has credited the idea that to be a Christian means to follow certain precepts and rules and not to identify in living, feeling and manifesting with Christ! The Christian does not strive to ignite the light of the world, but to be himself a light; strives not to define and promote Christianity, but to live fully like Christ! That is why we can find a competition between Christian denominations and even between members of the same denomination. Unfortunately, it is not a competition in love, but one in primacy and greatness. When the human person is despised, the existence of Christianity ceases!Therefore, after a physical isolation and distancing, present all over the world, Christianity is called to reconnect the human nature, to bring them closer and to comfort people, reminding them that they are called to a life of nobility, in that Love reigns, the only food that endures!
