What is a Christian?
|
|
In a day when most terms have lost their meaning, it is important that we as a church agree on the biblical definition of "Christian". A Christian is not one because of membership in a Christian church or because he was raised by Christian parents. According to the Bible there is a very narrow definition of the word.
|
Being a Christian has to do with:
-
Faith (1John 5:11-13; Ephesians 2:8,9; 1Corinthians 15:1-4)
-
A proper relationship to God (1John 1:1-3; John 17:3)
- Being born spiritually (John 3:3-7, 16)
|
|
What hinders people from becoming a Christian?
-
An unwillingness to acknowledge their need (sin).
-
A lack of understanding regarding the gospel.
- Wrong thinking regarding what a Christian is.
|
|
What will happen to me if I am unwilling to acknowledge my need, and how do I know if I have a lack of understanding or wrong thinking?
Well, there is some bad news and some good news you need to hear, and you will probably never get this news on CNN®.
|
|
First, the bad news:
- Bad News #1 – We are all sinners. (Romans 3:23)
- Bad News #2 – The penalty for sin is death. (Romans 6:23)
|
Now, the good news:
- Good News #1 – Christ died for you. (Romans 5:8)
- Good News #2 – You can be saved through faith in Christ. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
|
This certainly is one time that we can be thankful we got the good news last!
It is a really easy thing to become a Christian. All you must do is believe and trust that Jesus Christ saves you. Would you take just 5 minutes to see and hear the most important news you will ever be told?
