Why You Should Be A Christian

Introduction: In becoming a Christian, a person must make a deliberate choice. So why should you make this choice?

Body:

1.       It is what God wants you to be

�        God is our creator. (Acts 17:28) honor and respect are due him as our father and God (Hebrews 12:9).

�        God wants us to become Christians (Acts 26:28-29).

2.       One glorifies God as a Christian

�        God is glorified when a disciple bears fruit. (John 15:8) but you can only bear fruit if you abide in Christ karma god's son (John 15:4)

�        Note: choose a fruit of the spirit each day through which you will bring glory to God. (Galatians 5: 22-23)

�        the Lord's church glorifies God. (Ephesians 3: 20-21). But those in the church, the lord's body, are Christians. (Ephesians 5: 23)

3.       Because of a Christians influence

�        No man is an island. Every individual wields an influence either good or bad. (Matthew 12: 30)

�        A Christian is to influence the world for good by what they say and do. (Matthew 5:13-16).

�        Our positive works glorify God. (1 Peter 2: 12)

4.       Because of family responsibility

�        God holds parents responsible for teaching their children. (Deuteronomy 4: 4-7)

�        this requires parents setting a proper example. Parents cannot expect children to honor them if they do not honor God.

�        One soul is worth more than all the world. (Matthew 16: 25-26)

�        Illustration of a balance

�        This material world will be totally destroyed (2 Peter 3: 10-11), But the soul will live on forever. (Matthew 25: 46)

�        The value of the soul is seen in what it cost to redeem it. (Hebrews 2: 9-10)

5.       Because it is the only way to heaven

�        Without the Lord, you are lost. (John 3: 17-190

�        There is only one way to heaven. (John 14: 6 & Matthew 7: 13-14)

6.       Conclusion

�        We have seen in this lesson why you should become a Christian. The choice is yours.
