What does being a Christian mean to you?

I love the scriptures. They always give me peace and comfort when I am going through trials on this earth. To Me, being a Christian means that I try to live my life so that others will want to know Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father. I try to do this on a daily basis. I know that I make mistakes but because of the sacrafice of Jesus Christ, I can repent, be forgiven and try to do better. I know that it is an ongoing battle to try to do better. I love the Savior and I owe him so much that I will never be able to repay him. Being a Christian means that I try to love and be compassionate toward everyone. I try to take care of them and lighten their load while uplifting them because this is what Heavenly Father wants me to do.

To me, I can say I'm a christian which means I know the bible, the rules, go through all the motions on the day of choice (Saturday,Sunday, Wendnesday night, etc) but still continue to live my life as I choose to live it. I however have chosen to LIVE a (christian)Christl-like life. Meaning, I'm going to take his words and apply them into my life. I'm going to not only know the rules,the in's-the out's but I'm also going to do them. It's always my prayer that I don't have to tell anyone that I'm a christian, I prya they will be able to see it through my actions.

I am so very very thankfull for a good christian mother who taught me about the Love of God...He has spoken to me many times in the scriptures....Yes when Jesus said the father and I are one ,I truely believe that with all my heart..I can not even imagine my life without God in it...I know that when we die we will be with our loving father in heaven.He has a most beautiful place waiting for us and this earth is just a stopping place....along the way...I feel the love of God in my life....always..he has always carried me through all my difficult times and I love him very much..

Hello Your post is great. i love jesus christ so much christainity means so much to me. it is a life christ life.we have to follow the foot step of our master christ

To me these verses tells me a lot about my salvation. I know I have hope and I will be with my savior when Jesus comes for his people. I have trust in my God and I know he is with me and will give me eternal life.

I may not be able to respond it directly becuase I am not a christain. But I am blessed to live with three christians in My family. I am a typical born Hindu of India but my wife is a Roman Catholic, so are my two kids. I think I am more blessed thn the christians themsleves. What do you feel?

being a christian means i am saved and have a new life in Jesus Christ... also, it means i always have somebody who will always look after and protect wherever i am... most importantly, being a christian means i have an eternal life which i will spend forever with Him in heaven when i meet Him face to face later on during His second coming...

It means so many things to me. It means hope, comfort, love, eternal life, faith, among many other things. I didn't really become a Christian until later in life even though I believed in Christ. I didn't really have a personal relationship with him and didn't live my life as a Christian. He has made such a difference in my life. When people ask how I know there is a God, I sometimes have a hard time explaining it but you just know when you know Him.

Yes being a Christianian what it means to me is firstly believeing in Christ, his work and what he expects of us. I do believe in the Lord and what he has done I do not go to church any more but I do always pray to him, and follow his teaching and that way I believe I am a Christian.

Yes i can see them...To me i say all true christains should obey the voice of the lord,we should try and reconize it when we hear it calling.

Being a Christian to me, means that my Lord and Savior was sacraficed so I would have eternal life with Him in Heaven. Prase God

A lot of people never understand the meaning of how it is to be a TRUE christian. They always questioned the validity and authenticity of every words written in the holy bible. When I make a slight mistake, I pray for forgivenes. When I spank my children, I pray for forgiveness. When one of my discussion generated a lot of responses, I thank God for His help, for giving me the wisdom to post good sensible discussion. Little things, big things, I always share it with God. I don't have to be a hypocrite to preach about all the things God did for me. I consider my spiritual relationship with God as a personal things, shared between me and God. I still make a lot of mistake in my life. But by opening my heart and soul to God, I was more aware of what I'm doing. Problems, natural disasters and illnesses happened for a lot of reasons. But wih God in our presence, we will always have the strength to face all this trials. Because I believe that God will reserve a special place in heaven for all of us who believe and follow His ways. God bless you.

I think you need to be saved to be a Christian. I don't mean the traditional go to church love your neighbor etc. I mean a type of transiton happens to a person, something unexplainable. Maybe it's the Holy Ghost. God's power Once a person has experience this christian revelation they may backslide ,in their life, but the spiritual knowledge never leaves.

yeah it is true that being a christian means many things but for me to sum it all up...it simply means that I AM NOTHING WITHOUT CHRIST!!!

Yes, I love those verses, and it is important for us all to hear his voice and follow his voice. To me, being a christian, mostly means serving God, which means I am to be serving Love. If I do not serve Love, it's not God I'm serving.. or working for.. And of course "love does no harm" so I won't be going around stealing from or defrauding folks.. or hurting.. or cheating.. :))

First I must believe in God. When I believe in Him then I will hear His voice and follow Him and He will know who I am. If I have a relationship with God then I know that I can always depend on Him in good times and in bad times that He will be watching over me. You are right also the Jesus is referring to the Trinity. I know not all Christians believe in the Trinity but I do. I think that the verses also say that God will never let me go and no one can take me away from God unless I choose to leave God. In other words, God will hang on to me and never let me go.

The meaning of a Christian person means that you pray to our lord and believe in what he has told us in the bible, and try to live according to what the lord wants for us in following him. Yes I can understand the meaning of these words that Jesus says to us.

I agree with you my faith gives me comfort in the now and hope for the hereafter!

These verses meant o me that we are to read the words that Jesus taught and study them. Get them in our spirits and believe them. Learn to follow what Jesus teaches, be longsuffering, loving, kind, teachable and ready to help others. Pray for God to open up our understanding and teach us through the Holy Spirit. We need to ask God to open up our spiritual ears to here Jesus. Hear His quidness and direction in everything in our lives.
