I asked my son what was a christian and what does that mean to him. He is nearly 1o and this is what he said.
A christian is someone that believes in Jesus as their own personal saviour.
I asked him what that meant
It means that Jesus died for my sins and everyone sins even if its just a small sin its still a sin.
So what does this mean to you
It means that I am going to heaven when I die but I don't plan to die soon. It means that God looks after me and listens to my prayers when I pray for you or anyone else.
So at the moment my son has a simple but wonderful grasp of what it means to be a christian and I encourage him to learn and ask question. I try hard not to impose my own views on him and hope he will learn from what we read and his own experience of the Christian faith.
I love simple Christianity
At one time I thought we did have to intellectualise it and discuss point after point after point but the truth is we don't. That's the work of the Holy Spirit to convict a persons heart, all we can do is give the truth and live by the Word of God.
