A Christian

 

What does it mean to be a Christian?

God, the creator is our interactive Father.

Jesus the Son of God is our Saviour, Redeemer, Intercessor and Lord.

The Holy Spirit is with us to give illumination, spiritual life and love.

 

The Christian renounces sin of every kind.

Forgiveness is accepted through our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself as a sacrifice for our sin.

The Christian commits heart and will to Jesus Christ. Instead of self centred ambition and worldly ways, Jesus through the Bible truth becomes Lord and King.

The Christian lives in hope of eternal life. This participation in the life (family) of the Lord God is enjoyed now and in the life to come. This hope is established by the promises of God.

The Christian seeks to live a life transformed  from the natural inclinations to do wrong, to a new life in Christ where the workmanship of God changes us to a new mind, to moral likeness of Jesus Christ, to heavenly aspirations, to the motive of divine love.

The Christian learns the true meaning of GRACE – the undeserved favour of God,, appreciates mercy and yields to the transformation of God’s love.

And so much more – my emphasis is : the Christian has a living relationship with God through the Lord Jesus Christ that makes life worth living and gives hope for Eternity.

It would be wise to take time out today  to ponder this question : "Am I really enjoying  this life from God?"

If not, ask God to speak to you and give Him time to do so.
