What is a true Christian according to the Bible?

Question

Please present Bible scriptures detailing what a true Christian is.

Answer 1

I don't think it can be done simply because Christianity wasn't around during the time of Jesus. If there are scriptures that state how to be a Christian then be suspect because those verses are written by man and not God.

Answer 2

Christianity is a relationship with Jesus Christ God Almighty. A true Christian lives their lives for and to God, they do His will not their own. They follow the 10 Commandments, they love their neighbors, do charitable work, help those who are less fortunate.

In the bible the Jewish Apostles were the first Christians, they went out and spread the Good News of our Lord and Savior. Jesus established a church not a religion. He placed that church into Peter's hands.

Answer 3

The Bible says people who believe would be observed by using those signs and warning signs. It says no longer something approximately genuine CHRISTIANS. DMX is a believer yet he's definitely no longer a Christian. Demons believe, yet are not Christians, no longer to point genuine ones. (James 2:19) And, in case you knew the Bible, you may understand that alot of what the authors wrote have been metaphoric. You had to have a contemporary given by using God to decipher it. this is obtrusive no person ought to do all those thigns with out God giving the means to realize this.

Answer 4

There are none that I can find, at least not in the sense of Christians and the Catholic church. The old testament is considered the Jewish bible and the the New Testament deals with Jesus who was a Jewish Rabbi. The bible doesn't say it out right but ( I believe) a Christian is a Jew who believes Jesus is the Messiah.

Answer 5

1)true disciple of Christ should love one another(John 13:34,35)so they do not share in wars and they treat one another as brothers and sister.2)true Christians should have deep respect for the bible and accept it as a word of God(John17:17;2Timothy 3:16,17)they study the bible and apply it in their daily living.3)and Honor gods name,John 17:6,26;Romans 10:13,14,when Jesus was on earth He made God Jehovah's name known to others.4)Luke 8:1;Matthew 24:14,true Christian must preached the good news of the kingdom.5)and Jesus disciple would not get involve in the worlds political affairs and social controversies.They avoid harm full conduct and attitudes that are common in the world(John 17:16)

Answer 6

It's really quite simple: A true Christian is simply someone who is "born again of water and the spirit."

In other words - **it's nothing we can do on our own** (This is essential - even the faith we have is a gift of God's Grace!! (see Ephesians 2:8-9) - it's something God does **to** us in our Baptism (John Chapter 3) - and this Holy Baptism buries us, with Christ, so we can share in His Resurrection (Romans 6:3-4)

(3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.)

See also 2 Peter 3:21: "The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ..." KJV

Answer 7

A true Christian is a person who has put his or her faith and trust in the person of Jesus Christ and fact that He died on the cross as payment for sins and rose again on the third day to obtain victory over death and to give eternal life to all who believe in Him. John 1:12 tells us: “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.” A true Christian is indeed a child of God, a part of God’s true family, and one who has been given new life in Christ. The mark of a true Christian is love for others and obedience to God’s Word (1 John 2:4; 1 John 2:10).
The phrase "born again" literally means "born from above." Nicodemus had a real need. He needed a change of his heart--a spiritual transformation. New birth, being born again, is an act of God whereby eternal life is imparted to the person who believes (2 Corinthians 5:17; Titus 3:5; 1 Peter 1:3; 1 John 2:29; 3:9; 4:7; 5:1-4, 18). John 1:12,13 indicates that "born again" also carries the idea "to become children of God" through trust in the name of Jesus Christ.

Answer 8

According to Christ, a true Christian is one who obeys His commandments:

John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love

John 15:5-7 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

This is presuming that you have already accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior, of course. Jesus said that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no man comes to the Father except through Him.

So once you have repented of your sins and accepted Christ's atoning death on the Cross, you need to obey His commandments and abide in Him.

Answer 9

matthew 26: 39-43
walk in perfection....

Romans 3
10. there is none righteous, no, not one.
to me it means he is yelling at u(not me I'm seeking)ex like a class room, none of u here r rightous, no one here is.
in verse 11 he tells why.
11. there is none that understandth , there is NONE that seeketh after God.
in this verse hes saying u can understand God if u seek him. Everyone that I talk to says no one can understand God, why does the bible say I can understand him.
12.They are all gone out of way, they together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, NO,NOT ONE.
in this verse he is telling everyone that they r no good to him, garbage, again he yells at u. So God is calling everyone garbage. How does it feel christians that the lord calls u garbage, maybe u should start to seek, or ask God how to seek.
13. thier throat is an open sepulchre; with there tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips.
verse
14. whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.
15.their feet are swift to shed blood.
part 2

verse 13-15 means what your ways r, and what the lord thinks of them. Look at your heart r u a cursing person, murderer(hope not) do u lie the poison of the asps.(snake)
16. Destruction and misery are in THEIR ways.
verse 16 means look at your life think of all your suffering, the trials, the scares. This is because u go your own way.
17.and the way of peace have they not known.
verse 17 talks about your life and your soul. Sence u r unprophitable why would God want u into heaven, if U seek his face u can find peace with God. The blood was sent to us because, God loved u and let u in heaven. HE gave u peace this way. But that was not the way God wanted it to happen, even if he planned it that way. Don't forget God had to go from his way, to our way, and save us from our ways.
18. there is no fear of God before their eyes.
no one fears God, all I hear alot from Christians is he loves me, so I'm forgiven. Then still sin. God wants us to fear him, and reconize what he did for us...
part 3

so to sum up, a man can walk perfect in his eyes if u seek his face and learn with understanding his ways to get into heaven. The blood was sent cuss no one seeked his face, God loved the whole world, and exepted there ways. But with a price, his son had to be beaten to death as the perfect sacrafice and rose again, so God would love us. Make us right with him. So walk with the Blood not in it.
