"Being born in a Christian home does not make you a Christian"

- E. Stanley Jones

About this Quote

This quote by E. Stanley Jones talks to the idea that merely being born into a Christian house does not immediately make one a Christian. It implies that being a Christian is more than simply a matter of bequest or family tradition. It is a personal choice that each individual should produce themselves. It is inadequate to simply be born into a Christian home and presume that one is a Christian. To genuinely be a Christian, one need to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and live their life according to the teachings of the Bible. It is a mindful decision that everyone should produce themselves. It is not something that can be acquired or given from generation to generation. Being born into a Christian house is a terrific blessing, but it does not make one a Christian. It depends on each individual to make the decision to accept Jesus Christ and live a life of faith.
