Definition for Christian A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Christian: The label of Christian means different things to different people. Because of this divergence in understanding, there is much misunderstanding, and even animosity, about what it is and means to be a Christian. As such, some true Christians even try to avoid this confusing label. It its original sense and usage, a Christian is one who follows Jesus and seeks to live according to his teachings and his ways. Becoming a Christian is an easy step to take, but it also entails a lifetime of pursuit. The purpose of Jesus' coming to earth was to die in place of all of us for the wrongs we have done. In essence, he paid our fine and did our time, so that we won't have to. If we accept this gift or act of Jesus', it makes us right with God the Father, who is perfect, thereby allowing us to be with him for all eternity. To accept this gift (it's free) and start on a journey with Jesus is easy; Jesus simply said, "Come, follow me," (Mark 1:17). If you have taken that step, congratulations, your journey has begun, an exciting journey that will last the rest of your life.
