KristusKristuskristillisyys

Kristuskristillisyys, also known as Christocentric Christianity, is a theological emphasis that places Jesus Christ at the absolute center of all Christian belief and practice. This perspective holds that Christ is not merely a historical figure or a moral example, but the ultimate revelation of God, the means of salvation, and the ultimate purpose of all creation.

In Kristuskristillisyys, theological doctrines, ethical teachings, and the experience of faith are all understood and interpreted through the lens of Jesus Christ. The person and work of Christ – his incarnation, life, death, resurrection, and ascension – are seen as the defining events of history and the foundation of all Christian theology. This means that understanding God, humanity, sin, redemption, and the future are all inextricably linked to Christ.

Followers of Kristuskristillisyys often emphasize the importance of a personal relationship with Christ, seeing him as the mediator between God and humanity. The study of scripture, prayer, worship, and Christian living are all directed towards deepening this relationship and understanding Christ's will. This approach seeks to avoid theological systems or spiritual practices that might, in their view, detract from or obscure the centrality of Christ. It is less a distinct denomination and more a pervasive theological orientation found across various Christian traditions.
