What is a Christian?

A Christian is more than a label — it is a life transformed by the power of Jesus Christ.

The word 'Christian' literally means 'follower of Christ.' A Christian is someone who has personally accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, believing that He is the Son of God who died for their sins and rose from the dead.

Being a Christian is not about being a good person, going to church, or following a set of rules. It is about having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ that transforms every area of your life.

The Bible says in John 3:16: 'For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.' This is the heart of what it means to be a Christian — to believe in Jesus and receive the gift of eternal life.
