Christianity is a life, it is not just a religion



We are not Christians because we go to church,
we are because we live a life like Christ Jesus.
Acts 11:26 (KJV)
and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.
A life of holiness and purity.
A life  free of blemish and accusation.
A life of flesh cannot do these things.
John 6:63 (KJV)
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
1 Peter 1:16
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy
A life of flesh cannot make you  intimate with  Jesus Christ.
A life of sin distance you from your maker.
Romans 6:1
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
Romans 8:7
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

To be like Christ Jesus we must accept Him as our Lord and personal savior.
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

To be like Christ Jesus we must be filled with the Holy spirit.
Romans 8:9
You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.

To be like Christ Jesus we must stay away from sin.
To be like Christ Jesus we must abide in Him day and night.
John 15:4 (KJV)
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

By abiding in Christ Jesus means we live in Him, and our survival depends on Him.
Then Christianity  will not be a religion,
Then  Christ Jesus will be a friend and not a stranger,
Then we will see Christ as a father, friend, helper, counselor ,  author and finisher of our faith.




We are Christians because we live a life like Christ Jesus, showing His glory to the world,
 teaching  the world the word of God, preaching repentance....in our word, behavior, lifestyle.
  Mark 16:15 (KJV)
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.


Christianity is not a religion that we only go to God on Sundays, Christmas and new year eve,
it is a life style of which we communicate with God day and night.
Galatians 2:20
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Christ Jesus want to communicate with us day and night.
He want to be at our table when we are eating,
Revelation 3:20
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me

Christ want to be by our bed to bid a good night while he watches over us.
Psalm 121:4
Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

Try Christ Jesus, He can do more than  what you think.
He is a friend..accept Him into your life
and experience the new life style.


If these words touches your life, and you will like to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal saviour. It is simple. Pray a prayer of forgiveness. Acknowledge you are a sinner,  ask Jesus Christ to forgive you all your sins. Call Jesus Christ to fill your heart . If you do this you are save, just look for a church of God around you to join, so as to improve your faith in Christ. Do not forget to read your bible day in and out.
