The word Christian only appears in the Bible 3 times:

• ​First time, when followers of Christ in Antioch are called Christians in Acts 11:26.
• ​Second in Acts 26; Paul defending his case before the king of Judea.
• ​Lastly 1 Peter 4:16; where apostle Peter encourages us to suffer with Christ as a Christian for the glory of God.

I grew up in a Christian religious household; I knew if God but I didn’t know God personally. I grew up in a religious environment where there was sadly no discipleship.

Growing up religious I thought I’m automatically saved from the judgement of God and I’m part of His Kingdom family. Furthermore I use to call myself Christian but my life was not submitted to the authority of God nor did I have a relationship with Him. I went to many alter calls, giving my life to Jesus Christ but then I would go back home and still live in the cycle of sin I was in.

But eventually in 2019 after God pursing me for a long time, I gave my life completely to God and even got baptized that year. I then joined the discipleship ministry in the church I was planted in and this was a big step on my new journey with God. Discipleship really helped me understand the Bible better and it helped me grow in my relationship with God.

God longs to have a relationship with you. He loves you and you are precious in His eyes.

I hope this episode blesses you :)

Love you fam!
