“I have been much tried and tempted, but this is my sheet-anchor: He has said, ‘Whoever comes to me, I will in no wise cast out.’ I know that I come to Him and I expect that He will be as good as His word. Poor and unworthy as I am, He will not trifle with me, nor deceive me.”

A Christian is someone who realises that they have sinned against God and other people. In the book Pilgrim’s Progress, sin is pictured as being a great burden that weighs us down. We all know something of this when we feel a grubby conscience – God has written His law on our hearts (Rom. 2:15).

Yet, God has acted to fix this problem. The Apostle Paul cut to the heart of what God has done when he said this to the Christians in the city of Corinth: “I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).” A Christian is someone who knows this and believes this- they have turned to God in repentance and faith. A Christian is now a changed person. Having come to love and trust God, it is my prayer that I will become more and more like Jesus. I long to be able to look back from the moment I came to trust in Him and to see how He has changed me: “Yes, God has worked within me.  I am more like Christ.”

As Christians, when we meet together on Sunday, we desire three things, 1) to worship God. Above all this is our motive in meeting together. 2) to hear from His Word. 3) to encourage one another.
