3.While the literal definition of a Christian means to follow the teachings of Jesus, I believe there's more to it than just that. I believe being a Christian is achieved by completing day to day tasks as Jesus would. It is one thing to hear his scriptures but it is another thing to act in the same way he would. As I live my life, rather than just following the Christian faith in certain instances, I attempt to live my entire life following the Christian faith by being kind to others, helping while receiving nothing in return, and respecting everyone and thing.

    Difference Between Christianity And Gresham Mechen

    A Christian is not just someone who claims to be a Christian for many people who do not believe or trust in Jesus consider themselves Christians simply because they attend church services or live in a so-called “Christian” nation. However, neither going to church nor living in a Christian nation make you a true Christian biblically speaking. Going to church does not make you a Christian any more than going to a garage makes you an automobile. Even our best works are like dung. “We have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment.…

However, God is three persons, also known as the Holy Trinity, meaning there is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.…

    My Life As A Christian Life

    I was the first Christian in my family. At the age of four, I started to go to church with my Aunt. Though by that time, I did not really understand what does salvation mean, I found I enjoy the time I spend at the church with my Sunday school teacher and friend. However, I was not saved until the age of 11. I went to public school for my primary education, and when I was at the age of 12, a year after I turned to Christ, I heard God’s calling and decided to go to a Christian school that was established by my home church.…
