Teaching Points
- 1
A Christian is not someone who was born into a Christian family, attends church, or lives in a Christian country. A Christian is someone who has personally put their faith in Jesus Christ.
- 2
Christianity is not a philosophy, a religion, or a moral system — it is a relationship with a living Person.
- 3
The word 'Christian' means 'little Christ' — one who follows Jesus, represents Him, and is being transformed into His image.
- 4
Being a Christian involves three realities: belief (trusting Jesus), belonging (joining His body, the church), and becoming (growing in holiness and love).
- 5
The Christian life is not about trying harder — it is about trusting deeper.
