To be a Christian means to be Christ-like, which at times is easier said than done. We all were new once so just relax and be yourself. Glad to have you as part of our community. Welcome to CC.

To be a Christian is to reciprocate the great love God has for you back to Him. Its about a relationship, not a religion.

John
3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Matthew
22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
22:38 This is the first and great commandment.
22:39 And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Revelation
3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

When Jesus comes to dwell in your heart you are born again, He imparts His own life to you.

Hello and welcome :)

Nice to meet you and so glad the Lord led you to join CC:) When you accept Jesus into your heart the Bible says you are a new person. Your past sins are forgotten and you start with a clean record. We then renew our minds by hearing/reading the Word of God which teaches us His truth for living a Godly life. Going to Church is key also. God bless and keep you!

A Christian is someone who is like Christ, you have the image or character of Christ
