What’s it mean to be a Christian? Very simply, it means to be
the person whom God created you to be!
It means being right with our loving Creator through faith in Jesus
Christ. It means having a God-given
purpose for this life and an eternal hope for the life hereafter. It means real joy, peace and love. Salvation is by grace through faith in Christ. Why should I care? Everyone
wants to enjoy life and have hope for life after death, and that only comes
through Jesus Christ. “I
have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John Sin
keeps us from being right with God, no matter how good we try to be. “For all have sinned and fall short of the
glory of God” (Romans As a
result we are eternally alienated (separated) from God. “For the wages of sin is death...” (Romans
6:23). So what’s the good news? God
loves us and wants us to be right with Him.
“See how very much our heavenly Father loves us, for
he allows us to be called his children” (1 John 3:1). God
made us right with Him through Jesus Christ, who died to pay the penalty for
our sin. “God
showed how much he loved us by sending his only Son into the world so that we
might have eternal life through him” (1 John 4:9). How do I become a Christian? Admit your
sins. That means you confess that you
have not and cannot meet God’s high standards for right living. Believe
in Jesus. That
means you believe that Jesus is Lord, who died on the cross for your sins and
came back to life. Commit
to living for Jesus.
Turn your back on your selfish ways and follow after Him. So what should I do? You can simply pray this in
your heart to God: “Dear
God, I believe that you sent Jesus to die for me and my sins, in order to make
me right with you. I know I have sinned,
and I ask you to forgive me. I want to
leave my selfish ways and live for you.
Help me to grow and mature into the person you want me to be. Thank you
Lord. Amen!”
