The world is made of broadly two types of people. There are ones who believe that everything that happens on earth is nothing but pure science. These are the kind of individuals who believe that things happen by chance. Then, we have the believers. They believe that things do not happen by chance but by the will of the supernatural power. How these individuals portray these supernatural powers is different. This is why we have a number of different types of religions in the world. Christianity, Islam and Buddhism are among the widely spread religions that we have today.
There has been an increase in the population of the Christians. Christians believe in the teachings of their Lord Jesus Christ. They believe that they are saved from their sins following the death of Jesus Christ. And that the resurrection of Jesus Christ cleansed them of their sins. Everything that the Christians believe in is in the Bible. Christians go to the church to worship. Today, there are so many Christian churches in the world today. Africa is leading with the highest number of churches. A few of them are found worldwide. Catholic, Anglican, SDA, and Orthodox are a few examples of the international churches. The next step after one has accepted and received Christ in their life is looking for a bible believing church to worship at.
