The Colors and Symbols of the Top Rocker
The top rocker of the Bikers for Christ patch is a powerful emblem rich with spiritual significance, conveyed through its carefully chosen colors. The blue outline represents the heavenly realm and the peace found in a life dedicated to Christ. Black signifies the solemnity of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross, a poignant reminder of our commitment to turn from sin. The vibrant red symbolizes the cleansing blood of Jesus, shed for the redemption of humanity.

Together, these colors encapsulate the core message of salvation and transformation that defines Bikers for Christ.
The Silver Sword: A Symbol of Divine Truth
At the heart of the BFC MM patch lies the silver sword, a striking symbol of the Word of God. This sword is a visual representation of Hebrews 4:12 and Ephesians 6:17, which declare that the “Sword of the Spirit” is the Word of God as a living and active force, sharper than any two-edged sword. The ‘777’ inscribed on the sword signifies the divine perfection of the Holy Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
This emblem serves as a reminder of the spiritual battle we face and the power of God’s truth to pierce through the darkness, guiding us in righteousness and faith.
Wings of the Holy Spirit
The wings on the Bikers for Christ patch are a vivid symbol of the Holy Spirit’s presence and empowerment in the life of believers. These wings, depicted in a spectrum of colors, reflect the diversity and unity found within the body of Christ, transcending cultural and denominational boundaries. They signify the freedom and strength bestowed upon us by the Spirit, enabling us to soar above life’s challenges and to spread the message of hope and salvation. Through these wings, we are reminded of our mission to carry the Gospel to the ends of the earth, fueled by the Spirit’s guidance and love. They are in many different colors so as not to identify with any other group.
The Significance of the Open Bible
Embracing God's Word
The open Bible on the BFC MM patch is a profound symbol of our unwavering commitment to studying and living by God’s Word. It reminds us that the Scriptures are meant to be opened, studied, and applied to every aspect of our lives. As members of Bikers for Christ, we believe our lives should be an open book before the world—free of jive and devoid of hypocrisy—reflecting the teachings of the Bible in both our actions and words. This powerful emblem challenges us to seek wisdom and guidance from God’s Word daily, ensuring our lives align with His truth.
The Flames of Purification
The flames depicted above the wings on our patch represent the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. These flames symbolize the purging influence of God, burning away impurities and refining our character. As believers, we are continually shaped and molded by the Spirit’s fire, which empowers us to live lives that honor God and reflect His holiness. This element of the patch reminds us of the ongoing process of sanctification that every Christian undergoes.
