Explain the importance of principal beliefs in the lives of Christian

adherents.
Adherents of Christianity and its numerous branches within are all
expected to place considerable value on the ethical teachings of
Christianity in guiding them to make informed moral choices.
Although the application of the key ethical principles varies across
the denominations in terms of what sort of specific ethical guidance
it provides, there is still an importance as the principal beliefs affect
their everyday lives. This can be shown trough central beliefs of
salvation, the death and resurrection of Jesus and the Trinity.
- Salvation: accessed through faith in Jesus, Obstacles in present life
make salvation difficult; people cannot achieve salvation by
themselves.
Christians believe that salvation is solely dependant on an
individual's personal acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour
in a moment of personal conversion.
Salvation requires the individual/community to behave in a
particular manner such as forsaking sin & pledging oneself to Christ
to be saved and attain eternal life in the kingdom of God.
Orthodoxy Salvation is attained by Gods grace & ongoing
participation in the work of ones salvation. Followers have to
perform virtuous endeavours shadowing Christs footsteps to
receive salvation.
(1 Peter 2:21: To this you were called, because Christ suffered for
you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.)
Demonstrates the importance of salvation in the conduction of daily
lives of Christian adherents in regards to receiving eternal life.
- Death and the Resurrection of Jesus: Jesus died for our sins,
followers appreciate the importance of His death as evidence of the
unconditional love of God, or seeing Jesus' selflessness even unto
death as a model for discipleship. The importance of the
resurrection is carrying the meaning of eternal life that overcomes
the limitations of human mortality.
The Eucharist rite remembers Jesus D&R, Roman Catholicism
believes bread and wine is another form of sacrifice/ Jesus blood
and flesh is inherited. Through this practice it allows individuals to
live righteously and eventually be transformed to rise above death
like Christ.
(John 11:25: I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in
me, though he die, yet shall he live.)
This practice is followed in an adherents life to show the importance
of Jesus D&R, thus affecting their everyday lives.
- Trinity: A central tenet of Christian belief, God is One existing as
three persons, God the Father/heavens, Jesus the Son/earthly and
the Holy Spirit as sanctifier/in church.

(1 John 5:7: For there are three who bear witness in heaven: the
Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.)
Adherents, through the HT receive the seven gifts & are empowered
to live out the word of God/sustain the mission of Christ in everyday
life.
(Isaiah 11:2:The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of
wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the
spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.)
Pentecostalism denomination baptisms are carried out in the HS.
Thus, the trinity extensively influences a Christian adherents daily
life as the HS renews and fortifies their commitment to live as an
essential member of the body of Christ.
