Being a Christian

What does being a REBORN Christian me to me?
John 8:12 “Jesus Spoke to the people once more and said; ‘I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have light that leads your life.”
I was born into a family and home within the Christian denomination going to a mainstream church. Apparently I was baptised as a baby shortly after my birth because this was a requirement by the dogma my mother was brought up in. So I was always a Christian by birth.
Being a reborn Christian however is a different matter all together. As I’ve read the Bible I have learned that every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Christ is Lord. I have further learned that Jesus Christ was sent to die for my (and yours – if you believe) sins. As time went I encountered the Holy Spirit as it was revealed to me. So I made a personal decision to follow Jesus’ way of life and I made a public declaration of my commitment and got baptised as an adult – just like Jesus did. This means that I endeavour to live obedient to God’s expectations of us as I understand it. It also means that I now have a personal relationship with my creator and the creator of heaven and earth.


Why have I decided to become reborn?
John 6:35 “Jesus replied; ‘I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in Me will never be thirsty.”
As I’ve read the Bible I have learned that every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Christ is Lord. I have further learned that Jesus Christ was sent to die for my (and your – if you believe) sins. So if this man sent by the All Mighty God did this for me, I owe Him some loyalty I think. I’ve also read so much about the kind and miraculous deeds He performed during His time here on earth. Now there’s a mentor if ever I needed one.

How did I become a Christian?
John 3:27” No one can receive anything unless God gives it from Heaven”.
As time went I encountered the Holy Spirit as it was revealed to me. So I made a personal decision to follow Jesus’ way of life and I made a public declaration of my commitment and got baptised as an adult – just like Jesus did. Now I live my life with the aim to abandon deliberate sinful ways.


Is there a hell and judgement day?
John 3:16 “For God loved the world so much that he gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.”
I don’t know, because I have not experienced it yet. However I will try to the best of my ability to live as if there is, because I don’t want to live as if there isn’t and find out that there is.

Am I a Gay Christian?
Romans 3:23 “For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standards”
Yes!

...but the Bible says in...
Yes I know what the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 6:9
and 1 Timothy 1:10
It kinda includes mre than just a whole lot of us doesn’t it? The only thing is I do not choose to be homosexual – but I do choose to follow God.
