To Be a Christian By J.I. Packer and Lane Dennis What does it mean to be a Christian?

What is essential for Christian faith and life?

How can we know Jesus Christ and experience the full love of God through him?

How can you become a child of God, anchored in the full reality of unquenchable joy, beginning in this life and ever increasing in the life to come?

It is possible to know about these things, however, without actually knowing them personally in one’s life. In order not to miss what God is offering you, it is imperative that you receive Jesus Christ as your own Saviour and Lord - if you have not already done so - and commit yourself to him to be his life-long disciple. There is no more important thing in life that you could ever do - both for the sake of this life and immeasurably more for the life to come. And when you have received Jesus Christ as your own Saviour and Lord, to know that you have done it, so that you can go on from there, knowing the fullness of joy as a child of God both now and forever.

To be a Christian is a lifelong personal commitment to Jesus Christ, but it begins with becoming a Christian in a deliberate conscious way, much like being a spouse begins with taking marriage vows. Being a Christian is a process of advance from that point.

As you continue with Christ, with his Father as your heavenly Father, his Holy Spirit as your helper and guide, and his Church as your new family, you will constantly be led deeper into your born-again calling of worship, service, and Christ-like relationships. You need to know from the beginning that God creates human beings for the purpose of knowing him, loving him, and enjoying a deep friendship with him. But no one naturally fulfils this purpose. We are all out of step with God.

In the words of the Bible, we are sinners, guilty before God and separated from him (Romans 3:23). Life in Christ is, first and foremost, God’s taking living action to remedy our dire situation (Romans 5:8).

The key facts of this divine remedy - which the Bible calls the Gospel (meaning “good news”) - are these:

1. God the Father sent his eternal Son into this world to reconcile us sinners to himself, and to preserve and prepare us for his glory in the life to come.

2. Born of the Virgin Mary through the Holy Spirit, God’s son (whose human name is “Jesus”) lived a perfect life, died a criminal’s death as a sacrifice for your sins, and rose again from the grave to rule as Christ (meaning “the Anointed One”), reigning on his Father’s behalf in the Kingdom of God.

3. Reigning now in heaven, Jesus continues to draw sinners to himself through the communication of the Gospel here on earth.

4. By the Holy Spirit, God enables us to turn wholeheartedly from our sinful and self-centred ways (repentance) and to entrust ourselves to him, to live in union and communion with God (faith).

Our natural condition could not be more desperate and urgent. In spiritual terms, our sin and self-centredness is the way of death, and fellowship with Christ is the way of life now and forever.

As the Apostle Peter said when her proclaimed the Gospel on Pentecost morning: “Repent and be baptised every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself (Acts 2:38–39).

God the Father calls us to himself through his Son. Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 4:16).

As we come to the Father, through Jesus Christ his Son, we experience and know and grow in the unconditional and transforming love of God. God the Son calls us to believe in him.

We may understand a great deal about Jesus, but that is not the same as personally believing in Jesus as our Lord and Saviour. We can attend church services and do many good things without knowing the risen Jesus. Knowing Jesus as Saviour and Lord means personally believing in him, surrendering our lives to him, and living.
