"know" being the keyword ... that Jesus is the Son of God and died for their sins ...

I was saved when I was 8 years old, I was sitting with my grandma during church when this voice started telling me I needed to be saved, my heart was on fire and I was crying and I new that I needed Jesus. I headed for the preacher at the pulpit and told him I needed to be saved, that was a long time ago and the best decision I ever made. Today I go to church everytime the door is open, I read the bible thru every year, at least I know I have since 94 and I pray daily, always asking Christ to forgive me of my sins and help me to make it thru the day being a witness and giving a smile to others. To be a christian of course is to be Christ like, we must Love people unconditionally, being able to forgive, which is the hardest but I can honestly say I hate no one. I am not mad at anybody and would give you the shirt off my back if you needed it, A christian had better care for others or they may not be a Christian, the church is setting full of people who could care less about there neighbor. I currently work as a volunteer at the local hospital, I enjoy it very much. I have enjoyed putting all this down, you have made me think, thank you and may God Richly Bless You in all that you do, send me an email anytime, I will be glad to answer any questions you might have..

I became a Christian after I made a choice to become one. I live my life as a Christian based on what the bible says. My definition of a Christian is someone who reads the bible daily, asks questions, being an example of a Christian, following the rules and laws on life made by God, being a messenger, prayers and repenting.

I first became a TRUE Christian when I was 21 years old, I was tired of not knowing about God and this religion I was suppose to believe in, and I looked up and said God if u r real then show me, if not then to heck with it all. And over a period of time He started showing me He was real and still is today. How do I live my life as a Christian, I have freedom in Christ but I dont use it as a liberty to sin, and I choose to follow His laws and ways, and live in love, and in hope that He will return soon. My definition of a Christian is simple but yet complex, I think a christian should walk in love, power and as an example of How Christ wants us to live., which is the way He lived, He was our example and we should be other peoples example like He was ours and we should model His example. God Bless u My Dear One In Christ...

I was Baptized as a Christian when I was eight days old and have always been a Christian. I live my life as best I can in God's will, believing and surrendering to the guidance of the Spirit. A Christian is one who believes and follows Christ.
In Christ

I was lucky enought to be born into a Christian family, so I discovered what I believe IS the TRUTH. I live my life as a Christian by following God's word, the BIble. My definition of a Christian is somebody who believes God our Creator, sent Jesus Christ and died for our sins. As long as we accept him as our Savior to Heaven, you're Christian.

I don't really remember how it happened. I live my life by loivung God and treating others as I want to be treated. I try to live like Jesus did. I really mess up, for I am not totally good. My definition of a Christian is that it is someone who loves Christ and tries to follow Him.

I turned the reins of my life over to Jesus Christ on October 13, 1969 behind Chute #4 at the Kwbell Rodeo Arena in Mansfield TX.Then I was baptized in a Horse Trough, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ in accordance with Acts 2:38. A Christian is one that turns his life over to Jesus, and follows his teaching totally.

I don't consider myself a "Christian." To call yourself a "Christian" it implies that you are Christ-like. I sin too much, I'm not even close. I have had my personal experiences with God, I believe in God, and I believe in the Bible. I went to church off and on when I was a kid... I just had a connection, I suppose. My mom was never into it too much (she is more now tho), and my brother is Atheist... I was just kinda on my own. I must've been... maybe 11? I read a lot of the Bible and would pray a lot. It's always stuck with me, the desire to have a relationship with God.
