What is a Christian?

by David Luke, Pastor, 3 Sep 2006

There are of course many ideas about what a Christian is. And if you were to ask 100 different people it would be interesting just how many answers you would receive. The following is an attempt to answer this question from a biblical point of view.

But before reading any further answer try answering the following 3 questions by way of orientation:

  • What is a Christian?
  • Do you know for certain that if you died right now you would go to heaven?
  • If you stood before God tonight and he asked ‘Why should I let you into heaven?’ What would you say?

A Christian is someone who knows that if they die they will go directly the heaven. And they also know that God will accept them into heaven. So it is important that we know the answer to the first question what is a Christian?

Read on to find the answer that the Bible gives to that question. . .>>>

The heart of man

Red outline of heart shape with words inside: false testimony, murder, lies, slander, adultery, evil thoughts, unclean, theft

The specialist in hospital told me that my heart was in a serious condition. How did he know? Firstly, he was guided by the symptoms—pain, tightening of the chest, breathlessness and an inability to do ordinary things. Many people suffer from heart trouble today and will recognize these symptoms, but thankfully most people do not suffer in this way.

But God says that we all have a serious heart condition, and in the Bible he describes the symptoms. . . .

Peter Jeffery shows us from the Bible what the symptoms of spiritual heart trouble are. He shows us the causes, and the remedy that God has revealed in the Bible. . . . >>>

            We make it our goal
            to please God.

            (2 Corinthians 5:9)
