What It Means to Be a Christian from A Revolutionary Freedom Video by David Jeremiah
In Dr. David Jeremiah’s video, “What It Means to Be a Christian,” he explores the foundational aspects of Christian faith through the lens of Romans 8, supplemented by other scriptural references. Dr. Jeremiah aims to clarify the core beliefs and experiences that define a Christian life.
The Assurance of Salvation
Dr. Jeremiah emphasizes the assurance of salvation as a key aspect of being a Christian. He references Romans 8:1, which states, “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,” highlighting the security and freedom from judgment that believers have through Christ. This assurance is foundational, providing Christians with confidence in their eternal destiny.
The Role of the Holy Spirit
Another crucial element discussed is the role of the Holy Spirit. Dr. Jeremiah cites Romans 8:9-11 to explain that the Holy Spirit dwells within every believer, guiding and empowering them to live according to God’s will. The Spirit’s presence is a guarantee of a Christ believer‘s relationship with God and their transformation into Christlikeness.
What It Means To Be A Christian – Living a Transformed Life
Dr. Jeremiah also discusses the transformed life that results from being a Christian. He refers to Romans 8:29, which speaks of believers being “conformed to the image of his Son.” This transformation involves adopting Christ’s character and values, which is evident in the way Christians live out their faith daily. Dr. Jeremiah underscores that this change is both a process and a goal for all believers.
In summary, Dr. David Jeremiah’s message articulates the assurance of salvation, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and the transformed life as essential aspects of what it means to be a Christian.
From the video:
The first four verses of Romans 8 are like the overture to a great symphony. Drawing from this passage, Dr. David Jeremiah recaptures what it means to be a Christian.

➤THE 70 WEEKS of DANIEL EXPLAINED (Lk.2:1; Lk.3:1-3):
➤THE CREATION CALENDAR RESTORATION PROJECT: [Crucifixion of Jesus: The Province of Judea 6/22AD.]
Pay attention [DANIEL’s last King ARTAXERXES I, son of XERXES the GREAT; Or “In THE FIRST YEAR of ARTAXERXES I son of AHASUERUS”; August-3474/ August-3475AM. (467/466BCE), Dan.9:1-3]:
➤The prophet DANIEL (3371/3475AM.) prospered during the TEN REIGN (The Babylon and The Medo-Persians reign), even the reign of CYRUS the PERSIAN though ARTAXERXES I (3475/3515AM.), son of XERXES the GREAT (XERXES I.) (in the FIRST YEAR of ARTAXERXES I, Dan.9:1-3)”;
“The First 70 Years ‘HEAD WAS of FINE GOLD’” [(553/483BCE); Jer.27:6-7; Dan.2:32; Dan.2:38] ≠ “The Second 70 Years ISRAEL’s Faithlessness and Disobedience” [(535/465BCE); Dan.9:1-3]:
JEREMIAH the Prophet prophesied that there would be 70 YEARS of SERVITUDE to BABYLON of ISRAEL, and 70 YEARS of DESOLATIONS of the LAND:
(01) 70 YEARS of SERVITUDE to BABYLON of ISRAEL and the nations. When CYRUS conquered BABYLON in October 484BC, this brought the FIRST PERIOD of 70 YEARS to AN END; [(ELUL 12 Or 21, 3388AM) through (MONDAY, IYAR 1, 3458AM.), Or 553/483BCE, Jer.25:9,12, 27:1]
= EXODUS II – CYRUS the GREAT: (EZEKIEL’s First Aliyah, Or ZERUBBABEL (Sheshbazzar’s Aliyah) and IESHUA’s Aliyah; (3488/3458AM.); Jer.27:6-7; Jer.25:9; Jer.43:10; 2Chron.36:22-23);
➤THE WRONG GREGORIAN CHRONOLOGY: 483BCE. + 69×7 YEARS (483 Yrs.): 1AD.; That it was mistaken and confused as The Gregorian Calendar and Many Orthers.
➤THE CREATION CALENDAR RESTORATION PROJECT: 465BCE. + 69×7 YEARS (483 Yrs.): SUNDAY, NISSAN 2, 19AD.;
(02) 70 YEARS of CAPTIVITY in BABYLON [(SUNDAY, AV 7, 3406AM.) through (FRIDAY, ELUL 1, 3476AM.), Or 535/465BCE, Jer.29:10]. In 535BCE, Nebuchadnezzar II laid siege to Jerusalem, culminating in THE DESTRUCTION OF THE CITY and its TEMPLE in the summer of 535BCE.
The 70 YEARS of CAPTIVITY started in TAMMUZ 17, 535BCE., when Nebuchadnezzar II laid siege to Jerusalem, culminating in THE DESTRUCTION OF THE CITY and its TEMPLE in the summer of 535BCE. [Jer.25:11-12; Jer.29:10-14; Jer 52:28-30 (Exile including 4,600 persons)], and ended with THE ARTAXERXES I 3476AM. DECREE in 465BCE (Ezra 4:12; Ezra 6:1-13; Ezra 4:21).
This stimulated DANIEL to pray for THE RESTORATION of ISRAEL in view of the fact that the remaining periods of 70 YEARS were also approaching their fulfilment [3475AM. (466BCE.) Dan.9:1-3]. And,
= EXODUS III – ARTAXERXES I: (DANIEL’s Aliyah Or First EZRA’s Aliyah; (3476/3909AM.); Ezra 7:7 (Rashi ad loc); Ezra 7:9; Ezra 8:31-35; Ezra 9:1-2; Ezra 10:1-41);
(03) 70 YEARS of DESOLATIONS of the LAND – THE THIRD TEMPLE (TUESDAY, TAMMUZ 17, 3406AM.) through (WEDNESDAY, ADAR 3, 3479AM.), Or 535/461BCE, Jer.25:8-11, Dan.9:1-3).
= EXODUS IV – ARTAXERXES I: (Second EZRA’s Aliyah; (3476/3909AM.; LTU 9500 and 9501); Ezra 7:7 (Rashi ad loc); Ezra 7:9; Ezra 8:31-35; Ezra 9:1-2; Ezra 10:1-41; Dan.2:33; Dan.7:7-14; Dan.7:8; Dan.9:24; Rev.17:9-11];
On THE SEVENTH DAY of AV, 3406AM. (SUNDAY, AV 7, 535BCE) the chief of Nebuchadnezzar’s army, NEBUZARADAN, began the destruction of Jerusalem [70 YEARS of DESOLATIONS of the LAND]. The walls of the city were torn down, and the royal palace and other structures in the city were set on fire.
On THE NINTH DAY of AV, 3406AM. (TUESDAY, AV 9, 3406AM.)), toward evening, the Holy Temple was set on fire and destroyed. The fire burned for 24 hours.
(04) 49 YEARS to restore and to build DESOLATIONS of the LAND – THE SECOND TEMPLE and JERUSALEM CITY by “Second EZRA’s Aliyah” and “NEHEMIAH’s Aliyah” [(49 Years, 0 Months, 28 Days); (FRIDAY, ELUL 1, 3476AM.) through (TUESDAY, ELUL 28, 3525AM.), Or 465/416BCE, Ezra 7:7 (Rashi ad loc); Ezra 7:9; Ezra 8:31-35; Ezra 9:1-2; Ezra 10:1-41).
= EXODUS IV – ARTAXERXES I: (Second EZRA’s Aliyah; (3476/3909AM.; LTU 9500 and 9501); Ezra 7:7 (Rashi ad loc); Ezra 7:9; Ezra 8:31-35; Ezra 9:1-2; Ezra 10:1-41; Dan.2:33; Dan.7:7-14; Dan.7:8; Dan.9:24; Rev.17:9-11];
= EXODUS V – ARTAXERXES I: (NEHEMIAH’s Aliyah (3938/3939AM.); Ezra 7:7 (Rashi ad loc); Ezra 7:9; Ezra 8:31-35; Ezra 9:1-2; Ezra 10:1-41);
(05) 434 YEARS unto the MESSIAH the Prince – JESUS CHRIST came to JOHN the BAPTIST while he was baptising people in the River Jordan (SUNDAY, NISSAN 2, 19AD.) [(433 Years, 6 Months, 15 Days) through (SUNDAY, NISSAN 2, 19AD.), Or 416BCE/19AD.], Ezra 7:7 (Rashi ad loc); Ezra 7:9; Ezra 8:31-35; Ezra 9:1-2; Ezra 10:1-41).
JESUS CHRIST came to JOHN the BAPTIST while he was baptising people in the River Jordan [SUNDAY, NISSAN 2, 19AD.]. JOHN the BAPTIST tried to make him change his mind, but JESUS answered, “In this way we will do all that God requires.” So JOHN agreed. As soon as JESUS was baptised, he came up out of the water on SUNDAY, NISSAN 2, 3959AM. (04/10/19AD.);
