To be a christian means to follow Gods way. To believe in only on God, Lord our father and to pray to him for forgiveness or help. Being a Christian means to know that God will always be around you and in your heart if you need him even when you feel like he’s not there.It also means to be kind like he is and to care just like his son showed us to.Being a christian mean s to do all the holy sacraments starting with your baptism to belong to Gods family.It also means we have to know that we are all brothers and sisters and we are all equal and beautiful in Gods eyes.You must also Go to Church On sundays like God sakes us to.⛪️
Thank you Jade, I really enjoyed reading your response. In these times, it’s so important to remember that we are all brothers and sisters in Christ 🙂
To be a Christian is about having faith in God and trusting his plan. Being a Christian is not about keeping rules and regulations, performing rituals, or even going to church. It’s about a friendship – a friendship with Jesus Christ. Jesus said that knowing him is the doorway to a special relationship with God. Being a Christian means to believe in God and trust his plan. Jesus says that we can begin such a special relationship with God by committing ourselves to follow him. This relationship with God comes through God’s generosity towards us in Jesus. It is not by any effort on our part, but through God’s kindness.
Nina, what a beautiful response. Your comment has really made me think and it was what I needed to hear today so thank you 🙂
To be a Christian means to go every Sunday to pray and also to listen to the gospel.In Ephesians 6:18 18 it said that “And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the lords people.”
This means we should pray in different times,occasions and to pray in all kinds of prayers.
In conclusion I think that being kind ,loyal,to go to the church and praying means to be a Christian.
Thank you for telling me about Ephesians, I will look that passage up now 🙂
To me it’s means to show compassion to others and try to be a follower of Jesus. As Christians we have to try and fulfill Gods Plans and try and follow Gods way,
Compassion is very important, thank you for reminding me of this 🙂
To be a Christian means to worship God and listen to him. Being a Christian means to be true to only the one god, God. A Christian has many meanings, and they all have a purpose to. As Christians, you have the purpose to spread the word of God, and bring good to the world. You mustn’t use violence or insults, no matter what the problem is. If you’re Christian, you do you’re best to follow Jesus‘ footsteps, and become like him. You must be kind to others, help others, respect others and always go the extra mile. Respecting God is very important, because when worshipping a God, he gives you the strength to be better. You worship God by praying to him, and going to church. Also by doing all the good deeds you can, you become closer to God. As a Christian it is important to never be selfish, but to be grateful, like Jesus. Of course it is impossible to be so perfect that you never become angry, or shout, but God will always forgive you, not even Jesus was all perfect. This is what being a Christian means to me.
Thank you Ethan, your comment has really cheered me up on this grey Monday 🙂
Being a Christian means we don’t just to go church on Sundays but recognise Jesus as God who incarnated to show us the Way, the Truth ,the Life. A Christian is a person that has put all there faith and trust in Jesus Christ. In the (John:3:16) ‘For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.’
That is such a famous passage Bible Sergio-I will find it now!
To be a Christian means to follow in Jesus’ footsteps and try to be as much like him as we can. Especially during lent we try to think and reflect even more as Easter is coming up. We also go to mass on Sunday to receive the body and blood of Christ and to spread the Good News by listening to the Gospel and homily. The Ten Commandments are all the things we should do in order to be like God.
Thank you Luke, you have thought carefully about the different components.
To be Christian means to have faith in God and to always follow Gods way like Jade said. But this doesn’t always mean just going to church and boasting of to everyone that you are a good christian. Instead you should be quietly praying in your head to God for forgiveness, thankfulness and help. You don’t need to shout out so God can here you he can hear you. Even if you are whispering God will take notice of your kindness and that you are trying your best at being a good and loving Christian. Another way of being a good christian is to help others, love your enemies even if they hurt you, just like Jesus said.
Thank you Elly, I like that you have mentioned the importance of being humble. I also really like that you mention that God can always hear our prayers, that is lovely to remember 🙂
To me,being a Christian means worshiping God and believing in Jesus as he is our saviour.We need to be dedicated to our Faith,which( in Christianity) means praying to God,going to Church and reading the Holy Bible.We must all look out for each other and love one another as Jesus loved us and we are all one big family and God is our beloved Father.??⛪️
If we pray to him,he will protect us and keep us safe from everything that is happening in the world right now.✝️✝️✝️
Thank you Ariella. Like you said we really need to look out for each other, especially in these times!
To be a Christian means to follow God’s teachings, you might not be christened but at least believe in him that he’s by our side. We can always remember that when we are down, Jesus is by our side to comfort us. Even when you need help, he tells us that we can always go to the end of the road where he is.
In Joshua 1:9 it tells us;” Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
What a lovely Bible passage Anahi, a very important message to remember. 🙂
To be a Christian means to follow Gods way. To have faith in God the father and to pray and ask for Gods forgiveness in the times when we are down or have done something wrong. To be a Christian means to know that God is always watching you in every step and in every movement. It means to know that we are all here for each other like brothers and sisters.
Thank you Lola 🙂 It’s important to remember that we’re all brothers and sisters in Christ.
To be a Christian is to believe with all your faith in Jesus and God. To aim to be like Jesus and follow God’s way. As Christians we need to be grateful for all our brothers and sisters and to know a sin from a mistake. A true Christian knows and admits when they are wrong and turns to God to pray for His forgiveness. For example, in 1 John 1:9 – “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” To be a Christian means to build a long lasting relationship with God.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
-John 3:16
What a thoughtful response Laetitia, thank you for sharing 🙂 I really like the passages that you have chosen.
To be a Christian it means that you are friendly with everyone and forgive whoever sins against you. We also have to act like Jesus and follow his footsteps. We need to pray to God asking him for guidance and thanking him for everything he has done for us.
😀
Thank you Aryan, I think it’s very important to remember to pray to God and ask for guidance 🙂
Being a Christian means helping others at any extent. Many Christians like Paul devoted their lives to helping others and so should we. It doesn’t have to be a big act as even the little things can make someones day better. It’s a nice feeling when you help someone out with anything as it makes them feel better and you feel better. As Christians we are expected to do things like this and help out when necessary as it makes closer to Jesus.
Thank you Haleema. I really like that you’ve referred to Paul and made a link between his life and our lives 🙂
To me being Christian is trying to be like Jesus. A Christian is someone who follows Jesus’ way. In life Christians look up to Jesus as our role models. To be a Christian is to believe that Jesus is the Messiah. This also means to have full faith in God and that we should build a good relationship with Him. We follow the Ten Commandments and look to The Gospel or Scripture for advice. This also means we go to Church for worship.
Thank you Timothy 🙂 Full faith in God is very important, I agree.
To me being a Christian is believing in the ways of Jesus Christ. You are one of his followers and let him guide you in the right direction, so that after you can teach others of Him. It’s not the big things you have to do, all the little things count to! We should be truthful and confess to God ours sins, letting him enter your heart, he will keep you safe from all evil. We should feel for others like the way God does for us! Maybe you wouldn’t think much of it, but just smiling at someone me encourage them to keep going, we can keep listening to the Good News of Jesus by going to the Church and and communicate to God in prayer!
Thank you Jada 🙂 you’re right, the little things are so important!
Year 6, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your replies. What a thoughtful and mature class!
To me being a Christian means to follow God’s way and trust him. We must not just go to church but be like Jesus in every way. We
as Christians look up to Jesus as our roll models. We must forgive others for others have had to forgive us. We must remember no one is perfect an we must all work hard to be like Jesus and God.
Thank you Jeanne 🙂 Trusting In God is a very important message
To be a Christian means to follow Christ, to live a good life being kind and respectful to everyone. So that we can go to heaven when we die.
To be a Christian is to know we are not alone with Christ.
Being a Christian is to follow God’s way in love, kindness, peace and compassion. To be a Christian is also to believe in God and worship him. Some people think God wants us to pray for him and do everything for him, but if we worship God, God gives us gifts, but not any gift, he gives us talents. Those talents are not to cook or play an instrument, but talents of qualities, such as kindness and love, and we share those with the world, so the world will be better and more peaceful world.
