“We must be united with

The meaning of Christian

Who or What
is a
Christian?
Is he/she a person who…

 Prays the rosary?


 Makes the sign of the
cross?
 Go to Mass?
 Do good things?
Those are just
MANIFESTATIO
NS of being a
Christian.
The true meaning of being a
Christian is accepting CHRIST.
Without CHRIST, I Am
Nothing.

John 15:5
I am the vine, and
you are the branches
whoever remains in me,
and I in him, will bear
much fruit; for you can
do nothing without me.
A Christian is a person who is united with Christ .
Jesus and you are ONE (UNION).

= 1
1 1
2 Qualities
of This
Union
Perfect Union
The character of Christ
completely unites with your
character.
In short, absolute or
complete union.
John 17: 20-21
I do not pray for them alone, I pray
also for those who will believe in
me through their word, that all
may be one as you, Father, are in
me, and I in you ; I pray that they
may be one in us, that the world
may believe that you sent me.
Consistent Union

One cannot say that a person


who goes to church or prays
plenty of prayers but live a
different kind of life is a
genuine Christian.

This means that, a Christian is


united with Christ at all times.
EXAMPLES
Water and Coffee
You cannot taste the coffee
without tasting water. At the
same time, you cannot taste
water without tasting coffee.

Relationship
You cannot harm the a
person without harming
his/her relationship partner.
Jesus And Me
You cannot touch a Christian without touching Christ who
lives in him.
How to attain this Union?
Couple-Relationship

 The same feelings.


 Girl accepts boy and boy
accepts girl.

This acceptance from BOTH sides is


called Mutual Acceptance.
The same is true
with our UNION WITH
CHRIST.
Mutual Acceptance

2 Conditions:

1.God accepts
man.
2.Man accepts
Christ (God).
Did God
already
accept
man?
God’s Part

Yes, God so loved the world


that He gave His only Son
that whoever believes in
Him may not be lost, but
may have eternal life.
-
John 3 :16
Ephesians 1:4
God chose us in Him
before the world
began, to be Holy
and blameless in
His sight, to be full
of love.
God already
accepted
us.
?
Man’s Part
Have we
accepted Him?
“Here I stand, knocking at the door. If anyone hears me
calling and opens the door, I will enter His house and have
supper with him, and He with me.” - Revelation 3:20
John 14:6
Jesus said, I am the way the truth and the life; no one
comes to the father but through me.
How do
we
accept
Christ?
Process of Accepting Jesus
1. Parents Decision (Baptism)
As a child, we cannot decide on
our own yet.

 It is necessary to baptize
an infant as soon as possible
since we do not know what
may happen to him/her in the
near future.
“Jesus replied: I solemnly assure
you, no one can enter into
God’s kingdom without being
begotten of the water and
Spirit.”
- John
3:5
2. Personal decision

As a matured person, YOU now have


the power to decide on our own.

John 1:12
Any who did accept him
he empowered to
become children of God.
These are they who
believe in his name.
My Decision

Galatians 2:20
And the life I live now is not my
own; Christ is living in me. I still
live my human life but it is a life of
Faith in the Son of God, who loved
me and gave himself for me.

You must accept Jesus


through
your “FAITH”.
James 2:26
“Faith without
works is dead.”
Effects of
our
Union
with
Christ
1. We become alive with the
life of God.
1 John 5:11-12
The testimony is this: God gave
us eternal life, and this life is in
the Son. Whoever possesses
the Son, possesses life.

When you are united with Jesus, you


become alive with the Human and the
Divine life of Jesus.
Galatians 3:26
Each one of you is a son
of God because of your
FAITH in Christ Jesus.
2. The Father of Jesus also
becomes our Father
Romans 8:14-16
All who are led by the Spirit of
God are sons of God. You did
not receive a spirit of slavery
leading you back into fear, but
a spirit of adoption through
which we cry out, “ABBA”,
that is “Father”. The Spirit
himself gives witness with our
spirit that we are children of
When you are united to Jesus,
His Father also becomes your
Father. That means that you
must do everything to glorify
your Father, just like Jesus did.

1 Cor. 10:31
The fact is that whether you
eat or drink- or whatever
you do, you should do all
for the glory of God.
3. The Mother of Jesus also
becomes our Mother
Mary is the Mother of
Jesus as man and as
God.

The moment Jesus and


you becomes one,
logically, His Mother
also becomes your
mother.
John 1:14
The Word became flesh
and made His dwelling
among us

The flesh and blood of Jesus


came from Mary.
Jesus entrusted us to His Mother.

John 19:25-26
Near the cross of Jesus
there stood his mother...
Seeing his mother there,
with the disciple whom he
loved, Jesus said to his
mother, “Woman, there is
your son”. In turn he said
to his disciple, “There is
We have a heavenly mother whom we can call to.
4. We become members of the
Family of the Blessed TRINITY

We are Holy people.

Once you were “NO PEOPLE”, but


now you are “GOD’S PEOPLE”;
Once there was no Mercy for
you, but now you have found
Mercy.
-1 Peter 2:10
Are you not aware that you
are the temple of God, and
that Spirit of God dwells in
you? If any one destroys God’s
temple, God will destroy Him.
For the temple of God is Holy,
and you are the temple.
-1 Corinthians
3:16-17
5. We becomes Brothers
and Sisters in Christ
I give you a new commandment:
Love one another. Such as my
Love has been for you, so must
your Love be for each other. This
is how all will know that you are
my disciples: your love for one
another.
-John 13:34-
35
6. We Become Heirs
of the Kingdom of God

Whatever you do, work at it


with your whole being. Do it for
the Lord rather than for men,
since you know full well that
you will receive an inheritance
from Him as your reward. Be
slaves of Christ the Lord.
-Colossians
3:23-24
A Christian now becomes…

1. alive with the life of God.


2. child of the Father of Jesus
3. child of the Mother of Jesus
4. a member of God’s family
5. part of the community of the God’s
children (brothers and sisters)
