WHAT IS A CHRISTIAN?
A Christian isn't someone who has it all together, grew up in church, or follows a list of rules. A Christian is simply someone who belongs to Jesus Christ.
A Christian is someone who has received Jesus. Not a religion, not a family tradition - a person. When you believe in Him and receive Him, God Himself makes you His child.
"Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God."
John 1:12
A Christian is someone who has been made new. Following Jesus isn't behavior modification - it's transformation. God doesn't patch up the old you; He gives you a brand-new start.
"If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"
2 Corinthians 5:17
A Christian is someone in a relationship, not a religion. Jesus didn't come to hand you rules; He came to bring you back to the God who made you and loves you.
"Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent."
John 17:3
Here's the best part: you don't clean yourself up first. You come as you are - and He makes you new.
