Christians remain the largest religious group in the world in 2015, making up nearly a third
(31%) of earths 7.3 billion people (Hackett & Mcclendon, 2017). The Christian worldview
centers its beliefs around the Holy trinity as God. Jesus (son), God (father) and the Holy Spirit.
All three of them fundamentally being the same entity which is god. Throughout this essay, you
will see the discussions about the essentials of the Gospel being talked about in the next
paragraphs. The paper will focus on four main key elements that capture the Christian
