Who is a Christian?

God’s People in the Old Testament

God’s Attitude Towards those that would be His people. Hosea 4:1-6 Hear the word of the L ORD, You children of Israel, For the L ORD brings a charge against the inhabitants of the land: “There is no truth or mercy Or knowledge of God in the land. 2 By swearing and lying, Killing and stealing and committing adultery, They break all restraint, With bloodshed upon bloodshed. 3 Therefore the land will mourn; And everyone who dwells there will waste away With the beasts of the field And the birds of the air; Even the fish of the sea will be taken away. 4 “Now let no man contend, or rebuke another; For your people are like those who contend with the priest. 5 Therefore you shall stumble in the day; The prophet also shall stumble with you in the night; And I will destroy your mother. 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

Only the Bible has the answers for Biblical Questions But! Most people will use the following to make biblical decisions :

What you must do daily in order to be a Christian Know Jesus 1 John 2:3-6 Obey Jesus Mark 10:17-22 Abide in Jesus 1 Thessalonians 5:16-22
