Daily Bread : We Believe

Hello!

We Believe

True Christianity is not religion. True Christianity is faith in Christ alone.

Just because people claim to be Christian does not necessarily mean that they are Christian. Christianity is not something you add to your life. Becoming a Christian means that Jesus Christ comes into your life and takes over. It is a totally new outlook that is not satisfied with anything less than penetration into the furthest corners of the soul and the understanding.

Christianity is not a spectator sport—buying a ticket and sitting on the sidelines. Becoming a Christian means no longer living for yourself but for God in obedience to Him. You must leave the old life behind and step into a new way of living, where Christ makes possible what you think impossible. To say you believe in Him and then continue living as though nothing has changed is to deny the power of God in your new life.

. . . The Bible says, “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

How does this happen? Christ indwells His followers by giving the gift of His Holy Spirit. He will not muscle His way in; you must invite Him in, accept His gift, knowing that He will never leave. The Holy Spirit then becomes your constant companion, a lifetime resident, One who will “never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5). He gives you the power to begin thinking new thoughts and behaving in ways that please Him—not yourself.

  1. You write something very dubious: “True Christianity is faith in Christ alone.”

    Being a Christian should mean being a follower of Christ. This comprehends that the person claiming to be a Christian should believe in Christ to be the Nazarene Jewish rabbi in the lineage of King David, who was sent by God Who declared this man being His only begotten beloved son (and not Himself)

    As a Christian we should believe in the sent one from God, who is a man of flesh and blood and not a spirit, like he clearly says he is lower than God and cannot do anything without God in Whom we should trust. It is in God we should put our first faith and believe, and secondly in His son Jesus Christ.
