@serine,
You should have used "who."

@serine,
It is a non-restrictive clause.
The correct one:
I am a* simple and responsible guy who loves Christ.

@serine,
I am A simple and responsible guy that loves Christ.

============================

As Myopic noted you need the article 'a' before simple.

You can use either that or who in your example.
