What is a Christian?
F.A.I.T.H.
F is for FORGIVENESS.
We cannot have eternal life and heaven without God's
forgiveness. "In Him [meaning Jesus] we have redemption through
His blood, the forgiveness of sins." Ephesians 1:7a
A is for AVAILABLE.
Forgiveness is available. It is-
AVAILABLE FOR ALL
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten
Son,that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life." John 3:16
BUT NOT AUTOMATIC
"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom
of heaven." Matthew 7:21a
I is for IMPOSSIBLE.
It is impossible for God to allow sin into heaven.
GOD IS-
LOVE John 3:16
JUST "For judgment is without mercy." James 2:13a
MAN IS SINFUL "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory
of God." Romans 3:23
T is for TURN (REPENT)
TURN from something-sin and self
"But unless you repent you will all likewise perish." Luke 13:3b
TURN to Someone; trust Christ only
(The Bible tells us that) "Christ died for our sins according to the
Scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again
the third day according to the Scriptures." 1 Corinthians 15:3b-4
and
"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in
your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be
saved." Romans 10:9
H is for HEAVEN.
Heaven is eternal life.
HERE "I have come that they may have life, and that they
may have it more abundantly." John 14:3
HEREAFTER "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come
again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you
may be also." Romans 10:9
