Who is a Christian?

A lot has been said about Christianity. Christianity has been perceived to be just one of the numerous religions that exist in the world. Sadly, most of the folks who are Christians don't even know what they have and what they profess. Christianity is more than just a religion and is certainly not one of the substitute religions.
Who is a Christian? A lot of people have said the Christian is one who is a follower of Jesus Christ. This may be correct, but does not paint the whole picture.

 The Christian is one who has received eternal life into his/her Spirit. 1 John 5: 11 and 12 talks about this life that we have received. There are two types of lives. There's the Human life and there's the God life called Zoe. The Christian has the God life called Eternal life. So many Christians sadly believe that they will only receive Eternal life in heaven. But John clearly writes in verse 13 of same scripture saying i write these things to you that you may KNOW that you have eternal life.  He says that you may know that you have this life already. God has given us eternal life and the bible says this life is in His Son and He that has the son has life.

Why is it Important that we know that we have Eternal life?
1. The ordinary man lives by blood. The Christian lives by Eternal life. Therefore no sickness transmitted through blood can get a hold of you. John 1: 13 say that you were born, not of the will of the flesh, not of the will of man and certainly NOT OF THE WILL OF BLOOD. It says clearly, that we are born of God. If we are born of God, what kind of life does God give then? He has given us Eternal life.

Before Jesus died, he lived by blood. After He died and rose again He no longer lived by blood, He had gotten Eternal Life.  No sickness transmittable through Blood could fasten itself on His body. Look at John, He was called the divine. Why? Because they put him in hot boiling oil, and he came out alive. Wow! Now this Divine life is not for John alone. Peter says that we also are partakers of the Divine Nature. We cannot be sick. We cannot be destroyed. Eternal life had been given to you. A Christian should not accept any form of disease. Why, you have the divine life. Dogs have their own life and the things consistent with their life. Humans have their life and the things consistent with their life. We have Eternal life when we become BORN AGAIN. Remember that we actually become born again, born of a new life now.

Jesus said you must be Born Again. Now can you see why He said so? Because He wanted us to live life to the full like He said in John 10:10, you and I will be failures in life if we are not born again. It means all the things consistent with the Human life will be at work in us.

Now that you are born again, insist on having the God life. You should not just be legally saved, be vitally saved also.
Legal salvation is what Jesus did by taking our place. He paid legally. Vital salvation is the result that we begin to experience when we fully come to know who our father is. It is living in the realty and taking advantage of the rice that was paid. The word mixed with faith produces tremendous power. Believe these words and see your live take a new divine leap.

 Have a blessed day
