Many people think they are Christians.
But what if they’re mistaken?
Jesus once gave a warning that still unsettles readers today:
“Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord…’ and I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you.’”
In a culture where Christianity is familiar, it is easy to assume we understand what it means to follow Jesus. Church attendance, good morals, religious traditions, or simply believing in God can all feel like enough.
But the Bible tells a very different story.
In What It Means to Be a Christian, David Knight addresses some of the most common misunderstandings about faith and explains the message at the very heart of Christianity — the gospel of Jesus Christ.
This book explores:
• what the Bible actually teaches about becoming a Christian
• why many people misunderstand the gospel
• the difference between religion and true faith
• what it really means to follow Jesus
With clarity, honesty, and compassion, Knight shows that Christianity is not about tradition, culture, or trying to be a good person. It is about something far deeper: being reconciled to God through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
If you have ever wondered whether you truly understand the Christian message—or whether you may have misunderstood it—this book invites you to examine the most important question anyone will ever face.
Your eternity is too important to leave to assumption.
“Since I have known David, he has had a wonderful way of communicating the truths of the glorious gospel with a sincere motivation of love. This book is more than just a good read; it’s ‘truth in love’ that steers the convo toward what matters most: the eternal. Purchase two. One for you and another for someone you have been praying for.”

“What It Means to Be a Christian is exactly the kind of writing we need in our present cultural moment: Accessible, pithy, and highly quotable. It gets us straight to the point without any forfeiture of rock solid truth. The thoughtful questions after each chapter make it an ideal tool for outreach, discipleship, or even family worship. I am grateful to David for writing it!”

“No issue more important, no better news. David Knight brings the good news with clarity, urgency, honesty and humility. He exhibits the grace of our Redeemer in telling us how we can be redeemed.
