What is a Christian?

In this episode of the Christian Wellbeing Show, Michelle introduces her co-host and husband, Stuart. Together, they discuss what it means to be a Christian and reflect on their very different, individual paths to faith. They highlight the significance of believing in Jesus as Lord and Savior and the power of confession in His name. Michelle and Stuart also touch on the concept of discipleship and the ongoing process of learning and living out God's purposes. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Becoming a Christian involves a heart transformation and a decision to make Jesus Lord and Savior.

• Repentance is a key aspect of becoming a Christian, involving a change of mind and a turning away from one's own ways.

• Believing in Jesus as the Son of God, who died for our sins and was raised from the dead, is essential for salvation.

• Confessing with one's mouth that Jesus is Lord is a powerful declaration of faith.

• The journey of being a Christian is a lifelong process of discipleship, learning to live according to God's ways and purposes.

BEST MOMENTS

"I've been a Christian for most of my lifetime, not my whole lifetime. As I often say, God doesn't have grandchildren, so." 

"I cried so much and gave my heart to Jesus that day and my heart was so changed. from that moment on." 

"We don't become a Christian starting off being ashamed... Repentance is wholehearted." 

"Becoming a Christian is just the beginning of a very exciting journey. Challenging and exciting but full, very full."
