Are You A True Christian?
It is clear that when Jesus says our whole body is in darkness, if He is not a part of it, that this should mean something to us.

A Christian lifestyle is different than wicked people in this world. Therefore, we are no longer partakers in their evil deeds.
Now that we have defined what a true Christian is, I would like you to think to yourself if you are living a life of a Christian.
When the Lord takes us in, we are all given talents. Some few and some many. What have you done with God’s gifts in your life?
The early church members are a great example of how a Christian ought to live a life for Christ. When I say ought to, it means desire to live righteously and get off of the path of wickedness.
If you are not currently all in for Christ, then this Christian lifestyle may be foreign to you. This ability to live a life pleasing to God may be difficult for you.
As Christians, we focus our minds on God and desire His will for our lives always. This way we can be led by the Holy Spirit and do things the way He desires, and not our things.
It is time to exam ourselves to see if we are in the faith or not. This is under God’s standards and not our own.
No matter what we were doing that we enjoyed before finding Jesus, if it went against God’s holy standards, it is given up.
The life of a Christian should easily be seen among people in the faith and among unsaved people in the world.
Christians suffer a lot. Persecutions come, as people try to still our joy. But in prayer, we are given the strength to overcome.
I was satisfied with my time at church but also my time in the world. It wasn’t until my sorrow was too hard to bear that I cried out to Jesus.
If you say you are Christian, then mean it. We are God’s people for a reason and should stand out, but not in our pride.
Your faith in Jesus also leads you to have traits like virtue, knowledge, patience, godliness, kindness, and charity in your life.
Jesus told His disciples that the gates of hell would not prevail against His church. This means that it never fell into apostasy.
What is important in life, in order to be on the right path, is that we change our environment that we are in. This is how we can stop willfully sinning.
Jesus said, “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”
The Lord God calls every person to work in His vineyard. They will all then be given the same reward when all is set and done.
Please know that people can say all they want to that they are Christian, but if their lifestyle outside of church is different, then they are only a hypocrite of what they say they are.
So what are you going to do with your life? Are you going to continue in your sins or walk in the light of Christ?
