Since the beginning of the Christian faith the rest of the world has
called the followers of Jesus “Christians”. After two-thousand plus
years though some of the meaning has gotten lost. So what does it mean
to be a “Christian”? Is it going to church on a regular basis? Is it
doing what Jesus did? To act like Him, talk like Him? Is it keeping
all the rules and laws that the Bible has in it?
NO, to all the
above. To be a Christian is not about doing but about being. Not
everyone is a child of God, only those who have been born into His
family. We are Christians because we have been “born again.” We now
have the very blood of God flowing through our veins. We act like Jesus
because it is our nature, not because we choose to. If it is all about
our choices then our hope still rest with us and not with God. But if
we have His blood flowing through us, then His nature is our nature. We
are joint heirs with Jesus. We are a brothers and sisters to the Son.
We
have a personal relationship with our Father God. He has done all that
was needed to give us the right and privilege to be call His sons and
daughters. Being a Christian is more than doing what your culture
says. Being a Christian is about being a son or daughter.
