This Sunday's Inspirational Message is:
Christian by Name or Christian by Nature!
Here are three key takeaways from this expository sermon based on John 3:1-6 and other passages:
-
1. A Christian Is a Follower of Christ: Being a Christian means following Jesus, not just believing in Him intellectually, but walking in obedience to His voice every day. Jesus said His sheep know His voice and follow Him. The question is—are you hearing His voice and following Him, or are you drifting into the comfort of cultural Christianity?
2. A Christian Is Not Defined By Good Works or Tradition: Salvation is by grace through faith, not by anything we can earn or achieve. Good works don’t save us; they are the evidence of a heart transformed by God’s grace. If you’ve been trying to earn God’s love through your actions or relying on tradition to define your faith, it’s time to rest in the finished work of Christ.
3. A Christian Is Born Again, Not Just Born Into Religion: Being born into a Christian family or attending church doesn’t make someone a Christian. Jesus said that unless we are born again, we cannot see the Kingdom of God. This spiritual rebirth is the true mark of a Christian.
