He answers

I'd like to share with you something awesome!

Two weeks ago, I decided to do a brief research/re-up on Harry Potter and J.K. Rowling because of the status updates on Facebook, some posts on Tumblr, and people were talking about it. I'm not a fan of HP, and don't intend to be one.

I wanted to find out the story line but gave up when I saw the wordiness in Wikipedia. Anyhow, I find the author's website interesting and I found out how she was inspired and HP was birthed. Ironically, it encouraged me because her scenario was similar to the one I dream myself. Volunteer. Writing.

I googled them because I wanted to find out the story behind HP. How she wanted to stop writing but evil forces did not let her. Then I read in Wikipedia that she claims to be a Christian. On what basis? Because she believes in God and attends the church of Scotland.

So....a Christian is someone who believes in God and attends church? Definitely not! There's more to it.

"So what makes one a Christian?" I asked myself.

Men believes in God. Pagan believes in God or gods. Believing in God does not make you a Christian. Attending church. uh-huh. Does going to McDonalds make you fries or a hamburger? Does going to the sea or swimming makes you a fish? Does flying make you a bird? No.

I concluded that a Christian is someone who believes and receives Jesus as the Son of God, the Savior and the Redeemer. (Which JK Rowling failed to mention.) A Christian have faith that Jesus died on the cross and paid for their sins and live a sanctified and repentant life.

All those deep, abstract stuffs.

Two days later, someone shared on the same matter. "What makes one a Christian?"

The answer was simpler and it made more sense than mine.

"A Christian is someone born again, in the water and of the Spirit."

John 3:3-5

Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”

“How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”

Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.

WATER does not refer to baptism. It refers to the Word of God.

SPIRIT refers to the Holy Spirit.

One week later, I doubted Jesus' love and care for me. A silly, outrageous thing to do.

12 hours later, He reminded me of His love.

"Jesus loves me this I know, For the Bible tells me so.

Little ones to Him belong, they are weak but He is strong.

Yes, Jesus loves me,

Yes, Jesus loves me,

Yes, Jesus loves me,

for the Bible tells me so."

I forgot that it is because of Him that God the Father cared to look at me, that the Holy Spirit would protect and care for me.

He knows it all. all along.
