Becoming a Christian

Introduction

The word "Christian" literally means "one who belongs to Christ." It is used only three times in the New Testament (Acts 11:26; 26:28; I Peter 4:16). It is a fulfillment from the prophecy of Isaiah (62:2), who said that the people of God will be called a new name which the LORD Himself would name. This was fulfilled when the disciples of Antioch were the first to be called "Christians."

Becoming a Christian is a thrilling and wonderful experience. It takes courage, commitment, and conviction to become converted. The power of God to salvation is the gospel. Paul said:

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith, as it is written, �The just shall live by faith'" (Romans 1:16-17).
The heart of the gospel message has to do with the death burial and resurrection of Jesus. This is a matter of "first" importance (I Corinthians 15:1-4), namely, that:

"For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures" (I Corinthians 15:3-4).
These are fundamental matters of our faith, for without them, our faith is empty and vain (I Corinthians 15:13-14). This is why Paul gives such compelling evidences, including eyewitnesses, to verify the resurrection (I Corinthians 15:5-11).
How is this applicable to us, to the extent that we become partakers of God's grace, and become Christians?

Hearing The Evidence

Paul said: "So then faith comes by hearing; and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17). Succinctly put by Restoration

Scholar, J.W. McGarvey: "Faith is the result of the evidence." The overwhelming evidence of the word of God produces faith in the heart of the sinner. Every conversion account in the book of Acts chronicles the beginning of the conversion process by hearing the evidence of the word of God (Acts 2:37; 8:12; 8:35; 9:6; 10:34-43; 16:14; 16:32; et all).

Faith in someone or something is produced by evidence. One is unlikely to loan his automobile to someone he hasn't learned to trust. That trust must be produced by sufficient evidence of worthy conduct. The Bible's overwhelming evidences, from Predictive Prophecy, Unity, Scientific Foreknowledge, and Archeology prove its trustworthiness as the inerrant word of God. Its message convinces us of Jesus Christ's authenticity as the Savior of the world.

Faith

The result of overwhelming evidence is faith. Again, Paul said: "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17). One must have this faith to become a Christian. Jesus said: "...for if you do not believe I am He, you will die in your sins" (John 8:24).

In addition, the Hebrew writer warned:

"But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6).
From this profound verse, notice three powerful truths: (1) Without faith, one cannot please God no matter what; (2) This faith necessitates believing that He is; (3) This faith necessitates believing that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
The biblical definition of faith is given by the Hebrew writer:

"Now faith is the substance of thing hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1).

In cornbread English, faith is being sure of what we hope for, and certain of what we do not see. The evidence of the Bible is so powerful and convicting, it causes us to believe with assuredness in what we hope for, and certain in what we do not see.

The Lord has clearly revealed Himself through the things that He has made (Romans 1:18-20; Genesis 1:1). As He has done this through the General Revelation of Creation (Psalm 19:1-3), He has instructed us through the Specific Revelation of His word what to do to become a Christian, and how to live loyally in Him (II Timothy 3:16, 17; John 15:6-7).

Repentance

Assuming the hearer has been powerfully convicted of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, he is, in the same process convicted of his own sins. The Bible says we have sinned and fallen short of God's glory (1 Kings 8:46; Romans 3:23). Because of our sins, Jesus died on the cross as the offering for those sins (II Corinthians 5:21; Acts 2:37). The godly sorrow produced by this faith will result in a powerful desire to turn from sin, and give oneself to God.

This turning is known as repentance. Paul told the church at Corinth:

"Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing. For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death" (II Corinthians 7:9, 10).
The sorrow of the world simply regrets getting caught, and is a phony sorrow. Genuine, deep regret is godly sorrow, and produces a desire to change. This change is repentance. Paul explained this process to King Agrippa, as told to Paul by Jesus:
"'to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sin and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me' (Acts 26:18).

The resurrected Lord told Paul to open their eyes by preaching the gospel. In doing so, He wanted them to turn from:

(1) darkness to light; (2) from the power of Satan to God. Why? "...that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance..." (Acts 26:18). This turning, once again, is repentance.

In explaining he was not disobedient to this vision, Paul told Agrippa:

"but declared first to those in Damascus and in Jerusalem, and throughout all the region of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, they they should repent, turn to God, and do works befitting repentance" (Acts 26:20).
Paul again defines repentance as turning to God. Here he adds that it is doing works "befitting repentance." A convicting faith produces a genuine regret which causes one to turn to God, and away from Satan. Again, this is repentance.
Confession

When a convicted sinner changes, he expresses this change to God and anyone else who will listen. This is the confession of Christ as the Savior, the Son of God. Jesus Himself said:

"Therefore, whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven" (Matthew 10:32, 33).
In the original language, this is continuous action: "...keep on confessing..." The idea is that this is a lifetime commitment, not something to be trashed at the first inconvenience. Paul said:

"that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" (Romans 10:9, 10).
One cannot be a Christian incognito. Confessing Christ is a declaration to God and to the world of one's faith.
Baptism

Assuming then that someone has: (1) been convicted by the evidence of the word of God, and believes he is a lost sinner, and needs Jesus for his Savior; (2) had this faith produce a dynamic desire to change, or repent; (3) been so convicted, that he has declared to God and the world his faith by confessing Christ; (4) what now?

Remember in the introduction to this study, we found what Paul called things of "first" importance. Paul identified this as Christ died, was buried, and resurrected the third day according to the Scriptures. How does someone die, be buried, and resurrected with Jesus? The apostle Paul gives us the answer:

"Or do you not know that as many of as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin" (Romans 6:3-7).
The New Testament is very clear that we are cleansed from our sins by the blood of Christ (Revelation 1:5). This is because the life of the flesh is in the blood (Lev. 17:10-11), and Jesus shed His blood when He died on the cross (Matthew 26:26-28). How do we access the blood, the death, the burial, and the resurrection of Christ?
Paul said by means of baptism. When we are baptized, we die with Christ (Romans 6:3). Christ shed His blood when He died, hence, we die with Him in baptism, we access His blood.

When are we buried with Christ? Paul said by means of baptism (Romans 6:4). When are we raised with Christ? Again, Paul said by means of baptism:

"For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection" (Romans 6:5).
Why baptism? Because it is the operation of God by means of our faith ( Colossians 2:11-14). Just like Noah exercised his faith in God and His promises by building the ark and trusting God through the flood, so we exercise our faith in God and His promises by being baptized into Christ (I Peter 3:20-21).
Baptism is that obedient act of faith that puts us into a covenant relationship with Christ. Jesus said:

"He who believes and is baptized will be saved: but he who does not believe will be condemned (Mark 16:16).

Paul said:

"For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ" (Galatians 3:26-27).
Earlier in our study, we mentioned the word "Christian" means "one who belongs to Christ." In order to belong to Him, or put Him on, we must be "...baptized into Christ..." (Galatians 3:27).
Faithfulness

Once someone has become a Christian, the Lord wants him to remain loyal and faithful. Jesus warned:

"If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire and they are burned: If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire and it shall be done for you" (John 15:6-7).
Christianity is not something we turn on and off, but it is who we become (Colossians 3:1-3). Paul warned the Galatians that, desiring to be justified by the Law (the Old Law) that: "...you have fallen from grace" (Galatians 5:4). One cannot fall from grace unless he was in grace!
Simon the Sorcerer was baptized into Christ, but sinned grievously, and was told to repent or perish (Acts 8:18-24). Peter himself sinned in withdrawing from his Gentile brethren, and had to repent or perish (Galatians 2:10-11). Hymenaeus and Philetus severed their relationship by teaching the resurrection was already past, and overthrowing "...the faith of some" (II Timothy 2:16-18).

The regenerated child of God must remain faithful to his first love (Revelation 2:1-7).
