October 5,1990 was a joyous day for the couple Mr. and Mrs. Orais because it was the birth of their first baby. They name the little child "Christine", which means "A little follower of Christ".
I am Christine Narte Orais. I live in San Jorge Village Guadalupe Cebu City. I am 16 years of age. My parents are Jose G. Orais and Leonila N. Orais. My father is a teacher and my mother is a housewife. I have only one brother whose name is Jose Virgil N. Orais. His nickname is "Jayve". I finished my nursery years in Cebu Bradford School. Then I graduated from elementary in the University of San Carlos South Grade School at J. Alcantara Street P. del Rosario Extension Cebu City. Presently, I am studying in the University of the Philippines High school. My favorite colors are black and white. My favorite food is mango float. I spent most of my time in the church fellowshipping and worshipping. I love to read my favorite book-The Bible. I love music. I love to sing Christian songs. My favorite band is Hillsong. Few of my favorite songs are All For Love, For This Cause, Dwell In Your House Forever, Who Am I , and All Things Are Possible.
I am a Christian. I believe in one God. I accepted Jesus Christ as my one and only Savior. What does the word "Christian" mean? Being a Christian means accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. If you are a Christian, it means that you believe and follow Jesus Christ. The believers of Christ were first called Christians at Antioch(Book of Acts). The church, which is a group of believers were called Christians. A Church does not necessarily mean a buliding or a physical structure. The real meaning of a church is a group of believers. I belong to the Church of Christ. I am born again. It doesn't mean that Born Again is my religion. What I am trying to say is that being born again is not a Religion but it is the state of my soul. Being born again means being renewed and cleansed by Jesus Christ. In the book of John, the Word was with God and the Word was God and The Word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us. How did Jesus cleansed me? Does it mean He came over to drop by? No no no no, definitely not. Jesus through the power of the Word of God that renewed me. Being born again means the renewing of your mind and attitude towards sin. Man commits sin by nature but having sinned is different from loving sin. I mean we all sin. It is wriiten in the book of Romans that all have sinned and fallshort at the Glory of God(Romans3:23). But we have to hate sin! We must try not to sin. Because sin results to another sin and then at the end it will conceive death! We must repent so we will be forgiven. Repentance (metanoia in Greek) means the change of attitude and mind towards sin. Asking forgiveness can be just hypocritical. Our repentance must not just be in words but it should reflect in our actions. We mus not continue to love sin. If we know it is a sin, then we should not do it!
