A Christian is not perfect, since in this life unfortunately we will not be perfect. You are not a Christian just because you go to church, although it is very good to go to church if you can. You are a Christian because you have accepted Christ as your savior
All of us have sinned (we have done or said or thought things that are wrong.) The good news is that God sent His Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins, to pay the penalty that we deserve. So our choice is simple. Do we ask forgiveness for our sins and accept Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord? If so, that is what makes you a Christian. God wants to give you new life-- to be "born again."
You can be sure you are a Christian on the authority of the Bible, which is inspired by God. The Bible says "As many as received Him (Christ), to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name." The Bible also says "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
Jesus is your Savior; He also must be your Lord. Lord means the one who is in charge, the king. So we should ask God to help us do what Jesus says and follow Him.
So this week, let us pray that
- As many people as possible — millions of people — all around the world will come to know Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord
- God will protect and bless our staff at Global Media Outreach
- God will help your family and loved ones all come to know Jesus Christ
THANK YOU so much for your prayers. We so appreciate you. If you want to email one of our volunteers with any questions or to help make sure you are a Christian, you can just hit "reply" to this prayer letter and one of our volunteers will answer you.
May God bless you,
