So You Say You Are A Christian


So you say you are a Christian but do you really act like it. Would a Christian go to the bar on Saturday night and act like nothing happened on Sunday morning as he/she is praising our father and thanking him that they were able to make it to church on Sunday? Would a Christian sleep around with multiple men/women and act like it is OK and like they are not ruining a person that would be pure for their spouse? Would a Christian do drugs because it is something "cool" to do or because they haven't tried it before? Would a Christian kill, steal, and destroy with no regard for human life, their brothers and sisters and for just no good reason? Would a Christian continue to break the laws of the land, God's commandments, and just prove that they have a disregard for his beautiful creation? Would a Christian put himself first and be selfish when he knows others need things more than he does? How would a Christian really act in this world?

Jesus Christ has already showed us how to be a Christian. He was our example of righteousness and truth and showed us how to live our lives. Would Jesus go to the club on Saturday and worship his father on Sunday? No, he would not!!! He knows, just as we do, that that is not OK. This is not to say that you cannot have fun as a Christian, it just means that you need to be responsible in a corruptible world, have responsible fun and worship our father in your celebration. Did Jesus get drunk? Did Jesus go out and kill, steal, and destroy? Was Jesus selfish and did he always put himself first? The answer to all of these questions is NO so if Jesus Christ didn't do it and he is the Christian way of life, how can someone who claims to be a Christian do these things and proclaim to be like Jesus Christ?

Believe it or not, many people continually break the laws, and most importantly, God's commandments and proclaim that they are Christians. On top of that, they proclaim that they are spirit-filled Christians who are just enjoying the world and all of the secularity that lies within. A spirit-filled Christian is led by the spirit and if they are led by the spirit, they are Christ like. Yes, Christians may fall here and there and ask for forgiveness (and be forgiven by our father over and over again) for their sins but they will not continue in a life of evil and Babylonian contempt and proclaim to be spirit-filled Christians. Enjoying the world is not clubbing, getting drunk, killing, stealing and breaking the laws. Enjoying the world is enjoying what our father has given us, being nature and all of its beauty and loving each others company without anger, jealousy, and distrust.

Now, this post took me three days to write. Not because I didn't want to write it but because I wanted to make sure it was done perfectly. Now, I know it is perfect because it is what my father has told me to write and he is with me as I write this. So, I am finishing it as he wants me to finish it and including everything that he wants in here. So, remember being a Christian is more than just saying you are a Christian but acting in a Christ like way. Act the part, be the part, and show the world how true Christians behave. We are real Christians in every aspect of life.
