This blog is here to assist you understand that a Christian should be so not by name but by living a life that pleases Christ Himself according to God's Word. A True Christian is one who lives according to God's Word. Human presumption teachings, theology and traditions are the greatest hindrance to leading a successful Christian Life.
Attending church fellowship, theology lessons, having Christian parents/friends, knowing without living the bible, does not make one a Christian.
Liking Christianity does not make you one either! Christianity is earned but not awarded. We should rightly divide the word of truth. 2 Tim 2:15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.(NIV)
Jesus said, let your light shine before men so that they see your good deeds and praise our Father who art in Heaven. Today many people calls themselves christian but their actions betray them!
Matt 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.(NIV)
The problem we have today are the people who think being a Christian is only about confessing but not living up to the confession written about in Rom 10:9
Some People think that believing and confessing Jesus is all that is needed, then they return to their sins! but Rom 6:1-3 says What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
(KJV)
However much satan tries to spoil the image of Jesus' CHURCH, if we are without blemish, the world will see Jesus in us.
Look for a time when your neighbors and family members testify that surely they have seen that you are a CHRISTIAN.
Do not be discouraged by the numerous scandals published about God's ministers. The bible clearly says DO NOT accept an accusation about an Elder except if it is from three (Christian) witnesses and the accusations must be within the body of Christ and not outside. We as Christians shall by no means accept an accusation by the world against ministers of the gospel. This does not mean that there are no false ones.
Let us Insulate ourselves with good deeds and lets let our light shine before men so that they see God in us. Do not peg your Christianity on others! do and live CHRISTIANITY yourself for God and those around you shall testify.
The fact that the Christian image appears tainted is because fewer and fewer of us are able to uphold a good testimony among those around us. That is where the good image starts.
Let the Church say, COME!
