His sins are forgiven, his not perfect, but because of what Jesus Christ did on the cross, he is forgiven and accepted by God (Ephesians 2:4-6)
He have a loving Father who's concerned about all of his problem--even the little things like homework and friendships (Matthew :8)
He have a Helper--the Holy Spirit--to lead him to good decisions, to help him resist temptations, and to help him do what he know is right (John 14:16)
He have a direct line to God called PRAYER. He can enter directly into the throne room of the King of Kings anytime.. , and the Lord will hear his request ( Mathew 21: 21-22)
He can be contented and joyful, even when circumstances around him seem bad. He can do so because he know he can trust a God who doesn't make mistakes (Philippians 4:4,6,7)
He don't wander through life, dependent on circumstances to tell him how to act or believe.. Instead he has a road map from God called "THE BIBLE" to tell him right and wrong (Psalm 119:105)
He have a total confidence that he is on the winning side , knowing that there is an eternal home with God waiting for him in "HEAVEN" (Romans 8:37)

I'm sorry, but your verses do not make sense. "He have..."? And this is not a question right? It's telling us what a Christian is or has to do? By the way, if this sounds offensive, I did not mean it that way, I am just trying to clear up my questions. :D

what I have written is not really what's in the verses.. it's just the thought.. the verses enclosed in a parenthesis is just only for a support or a proof .. try reading every verses that I post then you will understand what I mean.. this is still considered as a question yet I already answered my own question.. I posted this for everyone to know...

A Christian is one that has accepted Jesus as their personal saviour, has a personal relationship with Jesus and submits to his will

A Christian is a person who follows all of the creeds and doctrines I follow. A Christian is one who agrees with everything I say without question. A Christian is one who jumps when I tell them to jump and does whatever I tell them to do. If someone disagrees with a particular doctrine I believe in, they are an instant heretic and there is no redeeming such a person. I will build websites blasting people such as this and even tell them they are hellbound.
Ok, so I was being sarcastic, but every person who calls him/herself a Christian has their own definition for what a Christian is, and they usually differ based on the denomination. There are Baptists who don't believe Catholics are Christians. There are Methodists who don't believe Pentecostals are Christians. Heck, even many neo-nazis call themselves "Christians". It seems there are ten new definitions for the word "Christian" made up every month. LOL.

..hi.. those you enumerated are right.. but for me, the real christian is one who upholds christian virtues and values in the midst of life adversaries.. that his light will shine even in the darkest part of his life.. and he will not waver when put in the middle of unbelievers but continue to do what is godly..
