Let me first clarify what an Explosive Christian is. An Explosive Christian is a person who has made the personal choice to ask Jesus to forgive them of their sins, repent (turn away from) of their sins, and ask Christ into their heart by faith It is your personal faith in Christ that makes you a Christian.
"…that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" - John 3:16
"For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses unto salvation" - Romans 10:10
For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast - Ephesians 2:8-9
The church you belong to cannot save you. Having a priest or pastor baptize you when you were a baby did not save you. Living a good life does not save you. The fact that your parents are Christians cannot save you (though they can guide you to salvation). Only making the choice to ask the Lord to forgive your sins, repent or turn from your sins, and ask Christ into your heart makes you a Christian.
If this is not something that you have never done, the Bible says that TODAY is the day of salvation. Pray, ask God to open your heart. God has made it so easy, but it is a choice that only YOU can make. See our Salvation Page for more info.
Once you have gotten to this point, the next step is that you MUST accept the Bible as God's inspired, inerrant Word. It is IMPOSSIBLE to be a Christian and not accept the Bible as God's Word.
You see, to come to Christ by faith, you have accepted that this is God's plan to give his creation which is separated from Him because of their sin, a way to come back into His everlasting fellowship. This is God's SURE plan!
That is why faith in Buddha will not save you. That is why faith in a golden statue will not save you.
It is ONLY faith in Jesus Christ that saves you because it was Jesus Christ who God sent to die for your sins! He was God's perfect sacrifice to give fallen man a way back into everlasting fellowship with Him. So if you accept THAT, then you have to accept the ENTIRE BIBLE as God's inspired, inerrant Word. It can't be only part right!
This is where so many Christians break down in their life. They simply don't want to let go of the things of this world. The fact is, this life is only a brief journey anyway. When it is over, the things of this world will be gone, and the ONLY thing that you will be left with is the fact that you have Christ in your heart, or you have rejected His love (God’s Love) for you. PERIOD.
As a Christian, you, me, each one of us, is called to be a light to this dark world that we live in. We can ONLY let our light shine bright when we are living fully, 100% for HIM. If you believe that God is real, TODAY is the day to make sure your life reflects that belief!
Remember, you don’t have to be a pulpit pastor to be hot 100% for God – The fact is I myself, I’m still running from that call and often say “Lord, bless me and make me a blessing to others. I will give my time for your kingdom. But I don’t want to be on the pulpit too often… Nevertheless, its not my will but yours be done” But if God says Go, Who are we to say No.
