What does being a Christian mean to you?

Over the past couple of days I have been thinking about this question a lot: "What does being a Christian mean to you?" Presently at school I am teaching a course called Christian Writings hence, I have had many different responses about what a Christian is. I haven't really gave them an answer since I am trying to be as objective as possible. Personally I do know what being a Christian means and I do believe that is what a Christian is!
Although, I am pretty positive that many other peoples response would differ from mine.

So here's my personal response to that question:

Being a Christian is definitely a life style. A Christian believes in God and salvation. They believe that God is Lord and that He sent his son to die on the cross for forgiveness of sins.
As a Christian you have accepted Jesus as your personal Saviour and you have received salvation from Him. At this moment you enter into an incredible relationship with Him. You believe and trust that God is above all and you long and desire to spend time in His presence.

As a Christian... each day tries to become more and more like Him. A Christian cares about others, tries to set a Christlike example, prays on a regular basis, does personal Bible study, spends alone time with God everyday, doesn't participate in worldly things, and tries their best to live like Him. They try to live by Christ's example and tries not to be influenced by other things.

Now I am not perfect by no means and there are definitely things in my Christian walk that I am not proud about. There are times where I get stuck in the mud and can't seem to get out but every morning I pray that God will help me be an example for Him. I want people to see Jesus in me because I want them to see the true joy of knowing Jesus on a personal basis. There is truly nothing better than being a follower of Jesus. That's very true.

I am glad that I put all of my trust in Him.

Have a great day with many blessings!
