As a minister, I don't think I have ever met a "true Christian." We have a sinful nature that we can only try to keep under control. I believe that we are all a work in progress and some are just a little more mature then others. We'll be true sinless Children of God when we meet Him in His glory...Cheers

Beginning anew in Christ, “you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator” (Col. 3:9–10). As God intended in the beginning, this new self is “created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness” (Eph. 4:24). It is like starting all over again, with new motivation and resolve to fulfill your destiny. This does not mean that God destroyed your personhood and ability or that your human nature is absorbed into the divine. Rather he takes your natural powers and, by his Spirit, bends them to their true created purpose.

We would be among the first to say that if Jesus didn’t rise from the dead, there would be no point at all in worrying about whether everyone has heard the gospel, because the gospel would be false. But if Jesus did rise from the dead, the gospel is true!
Jesus’ resurrection is one of the best attested facts in the history of the world. Such an amazing claim ought not to be believed unless the evidence is overwhelming. Five vital points indicate that Jesus rose from the dead:
People have only two choices: to confess Him as Lord now, voluntarily, or to confess Him whether they like it or not, and take the terrible consequences, on that dreadful day. How about you?
Jesus’ resurrection is one of the best attested facts in the history of the world. Such an amazing claim ought not to be believed unless the evidence is overwhelming. Five vital points indicate that Jesus rose from the dead:
- Jesus really was dead.
- The tomb was found empty.
- Jesus appeared after his death to many witness. Eyewitnesses recorded His appearances over a forty-day period after He had been publicly crucified. In A.D. 56 Paul wrote to the Corinthians that the resurrected Jesus had been seen by over 500 people, most of whom were still alive (1 Corinthians 15:3-8). It takes more “faith” to disbelieve this evidence than to believe it!
- The Christian Church owes its origin to the resurrection.
- We know Jesus is alive today, because many people have encountered the living Jesus. He said that He would return to the Father in Heaven, and His Ascension was likewise recorded by eyewitnesses (Acts 1:6-11). He promised, moreover, that He would come back to earth at the end of time in the same manner in which He ascended into heaven: when this occurs, “every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord” (Philippians 2:10-11).
People have only two choices: to confess Him as Lord now, voluntarily, or to confess Him whether they like it or not, and take the terrible consequences, on that dreadful day. How about you?
