He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.” So, a Christian is someone who has been born again by God (John 3:3; John 3:7; 1 Peter 1:23) and has put faith and trust in Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8 tells us that it is “…by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.”
Kwa hivyo mkristo nimtu aliyezaliwa mara ya pili na Mungu (Yohana 3:3; Yohana 3:7; Petero wa kwanza 1:23) na aliyeweka imani na tumaini lake lote ndani ya yesu kristo. Waefeso 2:8 inatuambia ya kwamba “Kwa neema mmeokolewa kupitia imani wala si kwa ajili yenu wenyewe bali ni kipawa cha Mungu.” Mkristo wa kweli ni mtu aliyetubu dhambi zake na kuweka imani na tumaini lake ndani ya Yesu kristo pekee.
