Do You Know Jesus?

WHO IS A CHRISTIAN?

A Christian is one who loves Jesus Christ, trusts in Him as Savior and is obedient to Him as Lord.

God Loves You. God has given you far more than you have ever received from your parents or others. God "furnishes us with everything to enjoy" 1 Timothy 6:17. In John 3:16 we are told of God's greatest gift, His son Jesus Christ who was sent because of His love for us.

Christ Will Help You Face Life. Your experiences in life will include all you are or ever will be. God will be right there with you every step of the way in the person of the Holy Spirit the Comforter (John 14:16).

Christ Will Give You Eternal Life. Being a Christian is the only way to experience a meaningful and complete life. In John 10:10 Jesus said, "I came that they may have life, and have it more abundantly". He was talking not only about physical existence, but also about the spiritual life which He imparts to those who trust in Him.

WHEN YOU BECOME A CHRISTIAN...

1. You Are a New Creature.  "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." II Corinthians 5:17. The person that you were in sin no longer exists!

2. Your Old Sinful Man (nature) is Dead. "So, my brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God. For when we were controlled by the sinful nature, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, so that we bore fruit for death. But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code." Romans 7:4-6. When Christ died on the cross to save us from our sins, our sinful nature died with him and our new spirit nature rose with him at His resurrection!

3. Your Past Will Never Be Brought Up Again. "As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us." Psalm 103:12 Your sins are forgiven you and God will never bring them up again!

4. You Cannot Be Condemned for Your Past. "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death." Romans 8:1-2. You are free! Your sins have been forgiven and God will never condemn you, nor can any man condemn you for anything that is in your past!
