Christian

A person that has a relationship with God and is NOT afraid to show it. Chrisitanity is NOT a religion. The word "Christian" was made up for the followers of Jesus Christ. Anyone that follows Jesus whole-heartedly is a Christian. Some people think that it is a religion, but that is a common misunderstanding. Catholic is a religion, Baptist is a religion, Mormon(sp?) is a religion, etc. People often relate Christians as judgmental hypocrites that bug everybody about God. This is also not true. A true Christian will NOT judge people, but offer to guide them and minister to them; like a mentor. We know that we are not perfect, but we have been fogiven by a God who is. We strive to be as much like Jesus as we can, but we know that we will not be just like him. Most people think that they have to do certain things to get into Heaven; this is also not true. All you have to do for your name to be in the Book of Life is love God with all of you heart and follow the guidelines set in the Bible. Ministering to others is another thing that will help you get there. God wants us to spread his word and love. Another thing that people think of when they think of Christianity is a Bible pusher. Everyone makes mistakes, so do NOT quote the Bible to me if you do not take the time to read it yourself. People often make fun of Christians because they are "super religious" this is not a nice thing. I am NOT in a religion...I am in a relationship.
