We have to throw off all offense and we have to listen to what God is telling us through the scriptures and through his word. Y'all, I'm giving Bible all day. This is not me. This is God. And so there's a difference between Well, when we talk about America's corrupted belief system, there's a difference between believing in the name of Jesus and the believing in his nature.

And so what does it mean to be a Christian? Let's just address terms very quickly. What it means to be a Christian, a biblical Christian, the biblical definition of a Christian is someone who follows Jesus, believes in his death and resurrection for the forgiveness of sins, and then lives a life in obedience according to Jesus's teachings. into the teachings of scripture.

What it means to be a Christian, a biblical Christian, the biblical definition of a Christian is someone who follows Jesus, believes in his death and resurrection for the forgiveness of sins, and then lives a life in obedience according to Jesus's teachings. into the teachings of scripture.

That is biblically what the definition of a Christian is. It's not just believing in the name of God, but it's believing that he has died and resurrected for the forgiveness of our sins and then to live accordingly to what he has taught through the scriptures. And so the Bible says in Matthew 10, 38 through 39, it says, whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.

Whoever finds their life will lose it. And whoever loses their life for my sake will find it. And then Luke 14, 27, which kind of mirrors that passage is, and whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. A disciple is a representative of Jesus Christ to carry out his works.

That's why when it says go and make disciples of all nations to go proclaim and spread the good news of Jesus Christ, to go and make disciples, it's to go make advocates of the gospel and of the good news. And so when we see that in order to be a disciple, in order to be a Christian, there's something that needs to be partaken in this process, which is the segment of carrying up your cross.

And so there's people who think that they're saved and there's people who know the name of Jesus, but they're not picking up their cross and following him.

So what it means to take up your cross daily and follow Jesus, that means all your desires that you have that's opposing to the will of God, those are things that you are not supposed to be indulgent in. You're not supposed to be iniquity, which means repetitive sin. If you know you're not supposed to have sex and you keep having sex, that's not pleasing God.
