NO ONE IS BORN A CHRISTIAN

CHRIST MOST BELOVED:

THERE IS THIS POPULAR CLAIM OF BEING BORN INTO CHRISTIANITY BY SOME, WHILE OTHERS CAME INTO CHRISTIANITY THROUGH CONVERSION FROM THEIR PREVIOUS RELIGIONS.

EITHER OR, BEFORE ANYONE CAN BE QUALIFIED TO BE CALLED A CHILD OF GOD, HE MUST GIVE HIS LIFE TO CHRIST AND TOTALLY SUBMIT HIMSELF TO HIS AUTHORITY THROUGH OBEDIENCE {JOHN,1:-12}

NO ONE IS BORN A CHRISTIAN; SIN RUNS IN THE BLOOD, BUT GRACE DOES NOT.

UNLIKE OTHER RELIGIONS, WHERE A CHILD CAN BE BORN INTO A PARENT’S RELIGION.

YOU MAY BE BORN JEWISH, OR BORN MUSLIM, OR HINDU, BUT YOU CAN NOT BE BORN A CHRISTIAN.

CHRISTIANITY DOES RUN IN THE BLOOD BUT SIN DOES.

JESUS PROCLAIMED, “THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE FLESH IS FLESH, AND THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT. MARVEL NOT THAT I SAID UNTO THEE, YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN.” {JOHN, 3:-6-7}

YOU MAY SAY, “I COME FROM A FAMILY WHERE BOTH OF MY PARENTS ARE CHRISTIANS. BUT THE FACT IS, THAT DOES NOT MAKE YOU A CHRISTAIN.

IF GRACE RUNS IN THE BLOOD, THEN THOSE WHO CAME FROM FAITHLESS FAMILIES WILL HAVE NO HOPE OF SALVATION.

YOU ARE NOT YET A CHRISTIAN UNTIL YOU PERSONALLY GIVE YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST, GOT BAPTIZED, AND START FOLLOWING THE TEACHINGS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IN CONTINUITY WITH YOUR BEING BAPTIZED. CHRISTIANITY IS NOT HEREDITARY.

ONE HAS TO WORK OUT HIS OWN SALVATION. {PHILIPPIANS, 2:-12}

OUR INDIVIDUAL ATTITUDE IN THE SOCIETY TELLS MUCH ABOUT WHO WE ARE AND THE KIND OF PRODUCT WE WERE MADE OF.

ONE MAY CLAIM TO BE BORN AND FATHERED BY A PASTOR OR A SHEPHERD, EVEN BY A GENERAL OVER-SEER. BUT WITHOUT HIM PERSONALLY GIVING HIS LIFE TO CHRIST, HE IS FAR FROM BEING A CHRISTIAN. OUR BEHAVIOR BEGINS WITH THE THOUGHTS IN OUR HEARTS

IN CONCLUSION: WHATEVER IS TRUE, WHATEVER IS HONORABLE, WHATEVER IS JUST, WHATEVER IS PURE, WHATEVER IS GODLY, WHATEVER IS COMMENDABLE, IF THERE IS ANY EXCELLENCE, IF THERE IS ANYTHING WORTHY OF PRAISE, THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS.” {PHILIPPIANS, 4:-8}

PLEASE JOIN IN PRAYER FOR THOSE IN THE HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH REGARDLESS OF DENOMINATION WHO ARE CURRENTLY BATTLING WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES.

MAY THE LORD GOD OF HEALING AND COMFORT: HEAL THEIR DISEASES AND COMFORT THEIR SOULS WITH THE BLOOD OF JESUS. AMEN.
