What it means to be a Christian
The word Christian was given to the early followers of Jesus, and the name has 'stuck' to this day.
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.
Jesus says that we can begin such a special relationship with God by committing ourselves to follow him. Millions of people today have discovered a relationship with God in this way.
Along with some words from the Bible, here's what five people have to say about themselves and what it means to be a Christian.
