What is a Christian? (Part 3)

Updated: Nov 13, 2023



We've just about covered what it means to be a Christian, but we haven't discussed why. In part two we saw the word 'saved' come up in Acts 16:31. This is what will be discussing today in part 3, the finale.


Jesus Christ was sent on this earth to seek and save the lost with his light. He was then crucified. He died for our sins, paying that price for us so that whoever believed in him would be rewarded. Three days later he resurrected, just as he said he would. This was to show the great power of God by fulfilling his word and to prove that Jesus Christ was truly the son of God. Believing this makes you are saved! This is what we call salvation.


What is the reward? Paradise. He came to spread the message that he was the only way to heaven. That only through him could you reach his father in heaven. Save us from what? By believing in his death and resurrection he is saving you from an eternity in hell.


We all want to be saved from our troubles but end up finding the wrong saviour, whether it be drugs, gambling or relationships. By accepting Jesus as your saviour, not only will you be saved in the after life but also in this life. The moment we make this choice we are to repent and turn away from our sinful nature. Through him you will find a change in your lifestyle and find that the things you thought you needed aren't actually healing you but instead are the reasons for your downfall. Once you are saved all your past sins are forgiven and it's basically a fresh start. Who knows we all need one of them at some point!


We should die from our old ways just as Christ died for us. And just as he resurrected we are to resurrect as a new creation in Christ. He is the ultimate saviour.



Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.


Acts 3:19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,




The end.
