Jesus Christ was born perhaps in the 4th century B.C on 25th December in Bethlehem. He was born in the reign of Augustus Caesar. Christ came to earth with hope to the poor shepherds for redemption and salvation from the suffering and the promise of eternal peace. Jesus is believed by the followers as the Holy Son of God. Christianity originated from the religion Judaism, Jesus was essentially a Jew by birth.

Origin of Christianity can be traced back to 2000 years ago. The teachings of Jesus gave birth to Christianity that started actually from the Roman province of Palestine and spread to the rest of the World. Jesus was regarded as the revered and pure hearted saviour who came upon earth only to fulfil his fate as the messenger of God. He kept up with his work of relieving the distressed and helping the poor, performing miracles that he attributed solely to his faith.

During the Origin of Christianity, Jesus had a few disciples or apostles who functioned as the leaders of his cause. According to the history of Christianity, Lord Jesus established the church when he was here on earth. He left us His Last testament, the New Testament in the Bible to follow after His death and resurrection. Thus, the Christians derive their inspiration from the thirty nine books comprising the Old Testament, but much more from the twenty seven books comprising the New Testament.

According to Jesus all men in this earth were the sons of the Father or the Almighty. He preached the equality of men before God because God does not judge persons. Lord Jesus protested against the hypocrisy of the Pharisees who forgetting their own faults try to find faults with others. Thus this third largest religion in the World was spread far and Wide. In India, the Origin of Christianity can be associated with the coming of the Portuguese and the apostles of St. Thomas.

According to the popular beliefs, the Universe consists of three layers, Heavens the Earth and the Nether world called Sheol. With the Origin of Christianity, the expressions also originated that state the three layers of the life of Jesus such as `the Virgin birth`, `the Son of God` and even resurrection, ascension and the Second Advent of Jesus. Origin of Christianity communicates that Lord Jesus taught the conquest of passion, inner purity of heart and conscience, equality of all men before the eye of God and love, which fulfils all the laws of morality. In addition to that Jesus taught a life of love, service to all fellowmen with the utmost sincerity of heart, which was a truly universal way of life, which is also the inmost meaning of the Hindu religious piety. According the teachings of Jesus, God is the one who makes no distinction between the sinner and pious, between the righteous and unrighteous.
