'''Christene''' glo in die drie-enige [[God]] – [[Vader]], [[Seun]] en [[Heilige Gees]] – Skepper van die hemel en die [[aarde]] en die Onderhouer van alle dinge. Hulle glo dat [[Jesus Christus]], die Seun, sowat 2000 jaar gelede aan die kruis gesterf het om die sondige mens van sy sondes te verlos, opgestaan het uit die dood, opgevaar het na die hemel en op 'n dag sal terugkeer om die mensheid te oordeel.

[[Lêer:ChristianityPUA.svg|duimnael|links|Die kruis en die Ichthus (vis), twee simbole, wat Christene gebruik om hul geloof te verteenwoordig.]]
Christene beskou die [[Bybel]] as die onfeilbare Woord van God. Hulle glo voorts in verlossing deur genade, met antwoorde dat 'n mens nooit die ewige lewe op grond van goeie werke deelagtig kan word nie, maar suiwer deur God se genadige redding (jou "wedergeboorte").

Wedergebore Christene verklaar met 'n absolute sekerheid dat hulle geredde kinders van God is wat tot in alle ewigheid deel sal hê in Sy koninkryk – en in dié opsig verskil die [[Christendom]] radikaal van ander [[godsdiens]]te.

In [[Suid-Afrika]], soos wêreldwyd, is die Christendom egter in talle kerkgenootskappe en [[sekte]]s versplinter. Dikwels is die skismas (kerkskeuringe) die gevolg van verskillende interpretasies van minder kardinale sienings wat tog nie die hoofboodskap van die Christendom aantas nie.

Die woord "Christen" kan manlik of onsydig wees en "Christin" verwys na 'n vroulike persoon.
