What Makes You A Christian by h20water(m): 11:09pm On Feb 10, 2018
Many people are constantly being deceived that Christianity is all about the church you attend, the name you bear and stuffs like that.

Some believe that once you are baptized with water, that it will automatically make you a christian.

I don't know how this belief came to be. It may be misinformation or wrong interpretation on the part of the ministers or simply the fact that most Christians do not spend time to read and STUDY the bible.

I am not going to quote the bible here because most people will still read this and be convinced immediately that i am making sense or speaking the truth without doing the research on their own to verify what i am saying.

I'd rather prefer that you carry your bible and search it out YOURSELF before you conclude...it will make you believe what i am about to tell you.

The name CHRISTIAN was first given to the believers in Antioch who were living a Christ-like life. Their LIFESTYLE is identical to that of Christ who they are emulating.

It was so evident that the non-believers around were compelled to name them after Christ.

Their lifestyle made it possible for them, not just their names or the church they attend.

Now, the question you need to ask yourself is...am i living a life of a christian? Can somebody look at my lifestyle and call me a christian? Or am i one of those people that believes that their names or the churches they attend is enough to qualify them to be called Christians?

THE BIBLE IS THERE TO ANSWER ALL THIS QUESTIONS. God bless you.

Christians are simply people who believe in Christ and try to live according to the principles of his teaching.
Stop stressing yourself about being like Christ.

Yes! but if one can't live like him all the time, that doesn't stop one from being a Christian. Does it?
