My sins are covered by the blood of Jesus. I am saved by grace. I have done nothing to earn this salvation. I don't even deserve it. Jesus is my Lord and Savior.

"For it is by grace you have been saved through faith and not by works so that no man can boast." That is the scripture that always comes to mind when I think of the true Christian mentality that and "Love your neighbor as yourself."
Christ died on the cross for every sinner (Atheist, Agnostic and all the rest) and rose from the dead. He brought down the Holy Spirit to guide us in our walk and keep us living holy lives and sharing the good news of His great gift of love and life. Christians should set an example of what Christ's love is and be watching in anticipation for the coming of Christ again.
There are atheists and disbelievers out there that may look at this and poo poo it, but I still pray for you that some day before the tribulation begins that you might find the great joy that Christ brings to your life. God Bless and keep shouting His praise until His return. God be Glorified!

I am a child of Jesus or God. I don't like being called a Christian because of the pervertedness of so-called Christians in this day and time. I don't like being categorized in the same category of some of the Catholic priest or even some of the so-called evangelicals, whatever that means.

I am a born again, spirit filled Christian. I became a Christian by singing the song as a child in a congregation worship service.
"Come into my heart, come into my heart. Come into my heart Lord Jesus. Come in to day, come in to stay. Come into my heart Lord Jesus.".
Even though, after I realized people were offended when I liked to talk about God, I quit bringing God up. Then I married & moved away. Then had a drunken blackout about 10 yrs later. Then I repented to my Father God. But ended up in a 1 yr breakdown. Actually it fried all the idols in my life that I didn't know I had.
But then, God healed me at the River of Life Fellowship in Kent WA. I recommitted to God. Gods Holy Spirit of Truth set me free from bondages and false doctrines. I slept soundly again. And I will never fall away again. And I will never be concerned that others get offended if I want to talk about God.
I am a Christian because Jesus Blood washes away my sin. I have been born of His Spirit, so pray to God in spirit & truth 24/7 whenever or where ever. Also, God disciplines me too, because I am a child of God.
huntero has an interesting web site where Anna Nichole Smith confesses Jesus Christ her Lord & Savior. I am not 100% sure it is true. I have prayed for Anna Nichole before she died and asked God about her after she died. God let me know in my spirit she was in a place of rest, because she never denied Jesus Christ, but that she wasn't presented the Gospel correctly. Also, a prophetic word about Anna Nichole confirmed what the Lord showed me. By http://www.kimclement.com/ANSPROPHECY.html . The enemy may have taken her life, but God received her.

Yep, I am a Christian. Trusting in Jesus, as the only way. Bought and paid for by the Blood. Praise the Lord!

I'm a Christian in the sense I accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior and follow Him. I believe in the inspired word of the Bible and the truth of God's word. I, however, am not a member of any of the large denominations.

I call myself a Christian realist--a Christian with street smarts--one that consciously tries to follow the teachings of Jesus and not do my own thing.

I am a Christian, because I know who I believe in and I know He(Jesus) is able to deliver me to Father God as one of His on the day of judgement. I know that He will do this because He said so and I have my proof to Him by being obedient to His word.

Yep. Born again by water and the spirit in the font of the Sacrament of Holy Baptism - just as Jesus said we must be. (Gospel of St. John the Divine, Chapter 3)

I am Christian because I believe in Jesus Christ as my personal savior. I have been saved by His grace. I know of my salvation because of the fruit of the spirit.
