How to become an effective cristian

How to become a christian? but first lets know first what really a christian is

The word Christian means CHRIST-IN. A Christian is somebody who has asked Jesus into their lives.
Many people have different views about what a Christian is, however the bible is quite clear on this point. Let us first explore what a Christian is not.
It is not simply someone who goes to church. Going to church will not make you a Christian. By the same token when you visit a Kentucky Fried Chicken shop you do not become a chicken leg!
It is also not only living a good life; there are a lot of good people in the world, who are not Christians.
Many also believe that because we live in a so-called Christian country that this by default makes us Christians.
These unfortunately are all untrue. If all of these do not make us christians what does?

next is who is Jesus
Jesus is really the Son of God, then we should take notice of what he says, after all here is the Son of the creator of the planet and universe which you and I are a part of.

However if Jesus is really the Son of God, then we should take notice of what he says, after all here is the Son of the creator of the planet and universe which you and I are a part of.
What Jesus had come to do was unique because he came down to earth to represent God and renew our relationship with him.
But the good news about Jesus is that although he died on a cross, he rose again. This is clear from the bible as there were over 500 witnesses.
The question we need to ask ourselves is. If this Jesus is alive today, (which I believe he is) can he make a difference in my life.
I can tell you that he can make a big difference in your life. If you have not experienced it why not give it a go. You have nothing to lose but everything to gain.

There is no dispute that Jesus walked this earth, there is so much historical evidence that proves this.
However was he simply a good man who had religious tendencies or was he the Son of God?
If he was simply a good man, then his death was like any other death and that would be the end of it.

Lastly is how do i become one?
You and I were originally intended to have a relationship with God. If we look back in the bible we find that God had a relationship with us in the Garden of Eden (Gen 1:27-31), but sin came into the world when man disobeyed God and ate fruit from a forbidden tree (Gen 2:8-25)

God wants to have a relationship with me and you but he can�t stand sin. Many people would think of sin as murder etc. The bible teaches that we sin in thought and word and deed. So it is not what we do but also what we think. Oh no ! That seems to cover all of us. (Rom 3:23). Imagine writing down all the things that we have done wrong in a big book. How many volumes would you or I get up too!

God has a problem he wants to have a relationship with you and me but he can�t because our sin cuts us off.

However God provided a way so that our sins (the things we do wrong) can be forgiven by coming down to earth in the form of Jesus. When Jesus was crucified on the cross he provided a way to allow our sins to be forgiven and restore our relationship with God. This is good news!!(John 3:16)

Once we say we are sorry to God he will take away our sin and make us a brand new person (2 Cor 5v17), a christian. He also gives us the free gift of Eternal Life. This means that when we die the next phase of our life begins, Spending eternity with Jesus (John 27-29).
