A Christian or simply a believer is anyone who believes Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Messiah, a confession of faith enabled by the transformation of one’s heart through the enlightenment of the One and True Living GOD.
Contrarily, the identity of a Christian is neither recognized by the outward appearances such as wearing a certain attire, emblem nor frequency of church attendance nor the ability to recite scriptures.
Simply, a believer or a Christian stands on the truths of Scriptures in the Holy Bible accepting God’s Grace by faith in a relationship with God in Jesus Christ, becoming his disciple connoting a learner.
The gospel accounts share of trials or testings of faith experienced by Jesus’ disciples as testaments to similar struggles of faith believers will encounter, today.
Notably, Jesus the risen Christ showed his wounds to Thomas who doubted, so to increase his faith and dispel his doubts. Jesus stopped Paul, then a Jew named Saul from persecuting Christians so that he may become a bold witness of faith while suffering. Furthermore, Jesus knowing Peter’s weaknesses asked him to confirm his faith, by asking “Who do you say I am?” then proclaimed he would become the foundation of His church.
Biblical Principle |
Confess the LORD Jesus Christ and become a learner of him being made conformed in his image.
Matthew 11:27-29 - All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
