christian

Christ-ian: a person who exemplifies in his or her life the teachings of Christ.

Today in our society it seems all too often that that word gets garbled and munipulated and sometimes even hated. Being a christian is not just a title like King or President being a Christian is one of Christ is says it in the word. To be a Christian you must be of Christ and exemplify his teachings through the Words he left in the bible. I think to often being a christian just means that your a good person and the total meaning of the word gets totally misused. Christianity has nothing to do with being a good person, it has to do with being a Christ-like person. Being a good person will get you nowhere, The bible says in John 14:6 That Jesus says, I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the father exept through me. Good people have nothing on God. Jesus came so that no man could boast of his own good works. Ephesians 2:8-9 says, for it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is NOT from yourselves, it is the Gift of God-NOT by works, so no one can boast. its in the book its right there. So to all the "Good" people out there, all those christians who think its all about being good its not....its about being better than good, its about being a Christ like person.
