JESUS CHRIST: A SAVIOUR, NOT A CHRISTIAN

Christianity is one of the most popular and most practiced religions in the world, to its devotees; it is the only way to God. It came into existence some 40 years after the ascension of Jesus Christ the acclaimed founder but unknown to many, Jesus didn’t even hear of the name "Christians" before his ascension to heaven and he didn’t initiate it. It was after he ascended to heaven that the heathen saw his devotees and disciples trying to live like him that they called them “Christians” which means “Christ-likes”. And it happened in Antioch.

The name was adopted by them; they tried to live by it until it becomes a religion. Someone said religion is man’s way back to God, this is true. Before the coming of Christ, man had many ways back to God but the only acceptable one was Judaism and after the coming of Jesus who said “I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the father except though me” Judaism became invalid and Jesus became the only acceptable way to God and whosoever believes in him has embraced the only way to God. The Christians claim to believe this but their doctrines says otherwise, they made it look as if believing in Jesus Christ is not only the way back to God but a combination of believing in him and trying to live like him.

Their belief make them to try to live by the laws in the Judaists scriptures which they claim Jesus didn’t scrap but fail to understand what fulfilling the laws on their behalf means. Living by those laws means they, like other religions have decided to find their own ways back to God. They believe Jesus only set a pace for them on how to live and when they fail to meet up, they say his death is the grace given to keep trying. However, the grace brought by Christ means you can live without trying to fulfill the laws since he did that already. Other than eating the last supper by his disciples which is not a compulsion, Jesus did not make any doctrine. He came so that man can have relationship with God; love God and fellow human being which he said embodies all laws and prophets that brought about series of doctrines. Jesus didn’t establish any religion; he fulfilled them and whosoever 'believe' in him will be saved. John 3:16.

Christianity is not only based believe in Christ and telling others about him which is the real deal; it is a glorified Judaism, a cult manipulated with self-made, wrongly interpreted and outdated doctrines and laws that discourage people for whom Jesus Christ died to believe in him, confess him and be saved.

If 'Christians' is a name to be adopted then it must only be adopted by people that believe in, rely on Jesus and tell others about him, perhaps performs signs and wonders in order for the people to believe just as Jesus himself did, not people who want to look best among others in the name of religion by tying to live like Jesus Christ.

Having read the Bible cover to cover critically, scholarly and spiritually; examining each statement made in it as it relate to the person spoken to, the speaker, and the covenant and context under which they speak, I have found out there is only one criteria for getting back to God and making heaven. It is ‘believe’ in Jesus Christ.

Regardless of your religion, so far it is not a way of worshiping Satan or claiming allegiance to him, this simple act of believing in Jesus Christ as the son of God; one’s Lord and savior is enough to save you.

Religion is the umbrella under which people hide their prides in order to look better than others even though they can’t meet up. That makes no sense to God. The most important thing is to believe in Jesus Christ and it doesn't matter whether you choose to answer the name Christian or not. The perfection comes by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord not in trying to live like him.

Regardless of dedications to religious activities, the only set of people that will make heaven is those that believe and doesn’t renounce their belief that Jesus is their lord and savior.

If it were not so, Jesus would have told Nicodemus otherwise when he came to meet him at night asking what he could do to be saved. He was told he needed to be born again and proper contextualization of john 3 of the bible made it clear that being born again simply mean to believe in Christ.

Believers in Christ are however commissioned to preach Jesus (the word) so others can be saved. This is the most reasonable way to show they appreciate the death of Jesus Christ for them. What saved them is the fact that they believe in Christ, not because they tried to live like him. The act of telling people about Jesus Christ is the most reasonable thing to do for God. No one can live as holy as Jesus Christ did, though trying to do so could be gain but it is useless if it will stop others from accepting Christ.

Learning about Jesus Christ and telling others to believe in him is mankind’s most reasonable service to God.

It is the responsibility of the Holy Ghost which they receive after accepting Christ as their Lord to help them turn away from their wrong doings but the Christians have left their jobs and took that of the Holy Ghost.

All a man (human being) need to be saved is to just believe in Jesus Christ as the son of God who died for his sins. Going to church is only profitable if it helps people to live in love, learn more and depend on Jesus Christ whom they believe without which going it will be as useless as the 'p' in psychology.

Some believe church is about a building where a group of people (Christians), gather together to live by certain doctrines they culled from the bible in order to look best among others but that's not it.

Church means the gathering of people that believe in the same thing thus the true meaning of "Church of Christ" is the gathering of those who believe in him. For instance, if the whole of Africa believes in Christ, they have become the church of Christ as long as they do not renounce him. It is not only about a building called Church.

                                                                                                       

Do you want to accept the word (Jesus Christ) into your life?

Say this out to yourself and mean it:

“OH LORD JESUS, I ACCEPT YOU AS THE SON OF GOD AND AS MY SAVIOR WHO DIED FOR MY SINS”.

You can take his yoke by telling people about him, mind you, don’t force people, it is ungodly to do so.

As simple as it look, if you TRULY BELIEVE it, you don't need to be a Christian and if you are a Muslim you don't need to change. This is not a religion but a necessity.

Just believe and you are saved. The fight is not between human race and God but between God and Satan and in order to be on God's side that declaration is all you need.

However you can lose this safety just the way you got it if you claims allegiance to Satan by either confessing him as lord, worship him and accept things: money, fame and power or other things from him. That is the only form of backsliding and the only way through which you can call Jesus your lord, heal in his name and yet not make heaven.

If you believe this is not for you but you believe it is true, please share with people you think might need it, share as many times as you can and spread the gospel. I tell you, for as many that read this and believed, you will have your reward in heaven. Take me by my words.
