What is a Christian?
Faith, Freedom, and the Open Road
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." — John 3:16
Christian (noun)
A person who follows Jesus Christ and believes in His teachings. Someone who has accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior, committed to living according to His will and spreading His love to others.
What It Means to Be a Christian
A Personal Relationship
Being a Christian isn't about following rules or going to church. It's about having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It's like having a best friend who's always there, who understands you completely, and who loves you unconditionally.
Just like you might have a riding buddy who's always got your back on the road, Jesus is the ultimate riding partner for life's journey.
Acceptance & Forgiveness
We all make mistakes. We've all done things we're not proud of. But here's the beautiful thing about being a Christian: Jesus offers complete forgiveness. No matter what you've done, no matter how far you've strayed, you can start fresh.
It's like getting a second chance at life, with all your past mistakes wiped clean. You're accepted just as you are, but you're also called to be better.
Brotherhood & Community
Christians are part of a worldwide family - a brotherhood and sisterhood that transcends borders, cultures, and backgrounds. It's like being part of the biggest, most diverse motorcycle club in the world.
You'll find fellow believers who will support you, encourage you, and stand with you through life's toughest rides. The bond between Christians is stronger than any earthly friendship.
Purpose & Direction
Life can feel aimless sometimes, like riding without a destination. Christianity gives you purpose - a reason to get up each morning and a direction for your life.
You're not just existing; you're part of something bigger. You're called to love others, serve your community, and make a positive difference in the world around you.
Hope & Peace
Life throws curveballs. We face loss, disappointment, and uncertainty. But as a Christian, you have hope that transcends circumstances and peace that surpasses understanding.
Even in the darkest storms, you know that God is in control and that He's working all things together for good. It's like having an unshakeable foundation when everything else is shaking.
Eternal Life
Death isn't the end for a Christian. It's just the beginning of an eternal adventure with God. This life is just the first leg of an incredible journey that never ends.
Imagine the ultimate road trip that goes on forever, with no breakdowns, no bad weather, and the most amazing destinations you can imagine. That's what awaits those who follow Jesus.
Why This Matters for Riders
As motorcycle riders, we understand freedom, adventure, and the open road. We know what it's like to feel the wind in our faces and the power of the machine beneath us. But there's a deeper freedom that comes from knowing Jesus Christ.
Just like you trust your bike to get you safely to your destination, you can trust Jesus to guide you through life's journey. The same sense of brotherhood you feel with fellow riders is magnified infinitely in the Christian community.
And just like you maintain your bike to keep it running smoothly, following Jesus helps you maintain your life, relationships, and character to keep everything running at its best.
How to Become a Christian
Admit You Need Jesus
Recognize that you're not perfect and that you need God's forgiveness. Just like admitting you need help when your bike breaks down, admitting you need Jesus is the first step.
Believe in Jesus
Believe that Jesus is God's Son, that He died on the cross for your sins, and that He rose from the dead. Trust that He can save you and give you eternal life.
Choose to Follow Him
Make the decision to turn away from your old way of living and start following Jesus. It's like choosing a new direction for your ride - a better, more fulfilling path.
