| What makes a person a Christian? PAUL LE DUONG'S VERSION for MPBC SUNDAY SCHOOL KIDS In remembrance of Chris White... She would have taught this... And thank World Vision* for a bit of "inspiration". Paully says: "Am I a real Christian because I have - Been Good?" - Been Going to Church?" - Been Reading the Bible?" None of those things! Sure, he may be real Christian, But he is not a Christian BECAUSE of what he does - He does those things BECAUSE he is a Christian Paully says: "HEY! I know! ... A Christian is someone who believes in God!" Sorry - that's not really right either mate. Christians DO believe in God, But so do lots of other people. Paully says: "What about believing in Jesus then?" That depends on what you mean by "believing." If you just believe that Jesus lived, Then that is not enough either... Paully says: "You mean there's more?" YES! A Christian is someone who TRUSTS Jesus- That means: BELIEVES Jesus is a real person - Gods own son. ADMITS they haven't lived his way and asks God to forgive them. TRUSTS that because He died in their place God will forgive what they've done wrong. LETS Him be in charge of their life and does what He says. Paully says: "So to become a Christian I have to give up living for myself an live for someone else... JESUS. That's a really hard step to take, because all my life I've been taught to live for...well...ME..." Jesus will help you take that step, If you honestly ask Him (i.e. PRAY!) In fact that IS the first step... The second step is to start letting Him help you to live His way. |
| A WORD OF INSPIRATION A young person once stood before God, their heart breaking from the pain and injustice in the world. "Dear God," was the cry, "look at all the suffering, the anguish, and distress in the world. Why don't you send help?" God responded. "I did send help. I sent Jesus and I sent you." * |
