christians

My five year old son asked me earlier this week what a christian was.  So I told him that a christian was someone that followed God with their entire life and that also loved Jesus with all their heart.  As soon as I told him that I knew I had just messed up.  So I immediately told him that what I had just said was wrong and asked him to forgive me.  I then told him that what a christian really was, was someone who went to church but probably in most cases did not love Jesus with all their heart and did not follow God with their entire life.
