1.Birth in a Christian environment does not make you a Christian.
You can meet people who say: "I was born in a Christian country and I am a Christian. Others say:" I am a Christian from birth. "But since the place of birth determines who you are? Someone could be born in a stable, but this does not make from the horse. Be grateful for his place of birth, for the family, church and country, but I do not think that it automatically makes you a Christian.
2. Keeping orderly life does not make you a Christian
Also, clean, moral life does not make you become a Christian. Many leading atheist fair, a good life. Moreover, what is enough "good"? Here is a fundamental issue. Most people have a biased notion that pattern, which should measure our goodness. Comparing with a thug, feel the candidate for the saint. Even in the confrontation with relatives and friends can fall out well enough. But the goodness of God, the pattern is completely different. He assimilated you to her Son Jesus, who was fully perfect. Compared with such perfection your goodness looks fairly poorly. Remember, the world has always lived thousands of "good" people. Thus, if sufficient goodness, God does not have to send Jesus. And yet have come to earth to die on the cross and wheedle our forgiveness, because being good does not make anyone a Christian.
3. Going to church does not make you a Christian
Lots of people go to church - with a variety of reasons. However, this does not make them Christians. Thieves also go to church. Some go to church out of habit. Others due to the family. It is true that Christians go to church, but not to make them Christians.
4. Acceptance of the sacraments does not make you a Christian.
Perhaps you have been baptized as a child or young person. It does not mean that you are a Christian. Many criminals were baptized in childhood. But few people recognized them Christians. .Be may accede to the communion every Sunday. Baptism and communion are the Bible. God tells us access to both of these sacraments. But the same participation in them does not make us Christians.
5. Believing in God's existence does not make you a ChristianThere are thousands of people who believe in God, and are not Christians. The vast majority of Poles say that they believe in the existence of God, but few of them is the notion of who he is. In the Bible we read that the demons also believe and fear. Self belief not mean no one, therefore, does not become a Christian, therefore, only that believes.
6. Speaking about Jesus does not make you a ChristianPeople talk about Jesus Christ. Many even good for him expresses. Most are teachers, clergy or church leaders. However, the same can not believe that what the Bible says about Jesus is true. They Jesus, which corresponds to their categories of thought, rather than that, what emerges from the pages of the Bible and who really lived.
7. Prayer does not make you a Christian
It is true that Christians pray to. But prayer does not make you a Christian. Hindus prayed continually rise. Muslims do five times during the day. Former president of Egypt, Sadat, leaving abroad took a rug, which beat prostrate five times a day, praying to Allah. He was a Muslim, not Christian.
- Therefore, the prayer does not make anyone a Christian!
8. Reading the Bible does not make you a Christian
Of course, Christians love the Bible. Some read it every day. But, that reading it does not necessarily mean that you are a Christian. Charles Marks at the age of seventeen years has written a great commentary on the passage from the Gospel of John, although he was not a Christian.
Read the Bible as the most.
But
how can we become christians?
By offering our hearts to Jesus, by being
"born again" through
the power of the Holy Spirit. When we
confess our sins and give our hearts to Jesus, He makes us
new creatures, with a new nature , new ideals, thoughts, actions. God wants a relationship with you, He wants you to become His child. Do you want that too?
He loves you sooooooooooo much!
Jesus gave His life for you that you might
live your life for Him!
How do you respond to His amazing love and grace?
I wanted to say hi. I hope everything is ok for now. Let me know if everything is all right for you. Takecare
Have a bless day.
