Hello you and welcome.
How should you view yourself as a Christian?
To this notion; first and foremost -> The bible is a gift of God that human beings have now today, to look at and read and see the Creation of the World, and also to Learn about the works of God through out history, it is a history of records of recorded times through out the generations preserved by Gods grace, and to see and learn about the Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God who is found in the truth of the Good News - The Four Gospels.
About His life, death, burial, and resurrection.
How should a Christian view themselves? -> Most in the world today, depending on the culture of Christianity you are around -> Many people will harp on sin. -> Sin, sin, sin. ->
As human beings by nature we are sinful. -> There are scriptures in the bible you can look up that deal with sin - if you use this site (
Browse by letter: 'A' - Thompson Chain Reference - ) click on the Letter -> S and find the word Sin.
You will see every scripture that has to do with sin.
As human beings -> We are normally lead and tended to by our parents, and teachers who come a long the way as we grow up through life, and that even means people who are out there teaching the bible when you go to church.
Have no idea what many churches preach about but do know normally one thing that is heaped and harped on and over are things like the last days, hell, sin. (For the most part) Not all churches are this way -> Have been in some that do mention of these things sometimes.
So the topic of this is as a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ what should you look at yourself as if you are redeemed by the redeemer who is the Author and finisher of your faith?
Do you continue to harp over your sin, and see yourself as a sinner all the time?
What does the bible say about how a Christian is suppose to see sin? (
(9 Verses) Dead to Sin) These are 9 verses on sin, and how a Christian is suppose to look and see sin. As dead.
You as a Christian believer, should understand that Jesus Christ has forgiven your sins already. God showed loved for you first, the Lord Jesus Christ also showed love for you first.
Because they loved us, as believers you are to Love God back.
If you Love God back -> It means to place him first daily in your life always, praying for others, forgiving others, continue to grow by the spirit, and in the knowledge of Gods will, spiritual understanding, and wisdom which is found in Christ Jesus our Lord.
If you live by the spirit by Loving God -> You are going to naturally be able to have Love towards Others. God makes us alive by the spirit -> The spirit lives with-in us.
You move away from (looking at your mistakes) looking towards Earthly things and start to let God renew your mind, and renew your heart through the spirit that is given by God.
You are a new creation in Christ Jesus -> conformed into his image, the more you grow in the spirit, and die to the sin (of the flesh).
You are not to see yourself as a sinner, if you are a believer who is seeking for truth.
You are a now a Child of God, (Son or Daughter of God) -> Forgiven of your sins, they have been removed from your account by the buying back of the Lord Jesus Christ of your sin -> into being able to have a relationship with God now.
What are your thoughts about these things?
