What Does It Mean To Be a Christian

What Does It Mean to Be A Christian?

Someone asked me an
 interesting question:
"What does it mean
 to be a Christian?"

I tried to explain the best 
way that I could.
"It means to obey God's 
commands and to be good."

As I spoke these words…  
It became more revealing.
The words I spoke...
Were a bit "deceiving."

It's more than just "being good,"
& obeying God's commands.
It's his way of living...
That I must understand.

Being an example of Christ...
is what I need to be.
Loving him... 
And being set free!

As I please the heavenly father,
 in what I say and do...
During my struggles and temptations...  
He will see me through!

Being a Christian is really a 
"brand new way of living."
It's my life for Christ...  
Is what I am giving!

Jesus will never disappoint those 
who choose him to follow.
He is always with us.  
Both today and tomorrow!
