Marks of a True Christian

Have you ever wondered how to be a better Christian than you already are? I have a lot. I’m going to talk to you about how to be the best possible Christian you can be. Paul gives us a perfect list of attributes in Romans 12: 9-21 

The first one is letting your love be genuine. We need to care about each other a lot. rather than being associated with them just because they’re a nice person. Or they are popular.

The second thing Paul talks about in his letter is loving your brothers and sisters in Christ. Siblings have a special relationship, but Paul isn’t talking about siblings he is talking about your church family. You need to love them very much and act like they are your real family.

In this section, he also talks about serving God. My sister and I make the communion bread for our church every week and that is a way we serve the Lord. You can also help by teaching people who don’t know about God.

Paul also says we should rejoice in the hope that Jesus is coming to take us to heaven. We need to be willing to wait for the day that Jesus is coming.  We also just need to be patient for everything and he says you should pray. You should always pray, especially every time you are happy or sad or need help. Praying to God is a good way to relieve pressure.

We also need to be hospitable which means acting kind and taking care of your guests. Do not be rude to those who are rude to you. Be kind to them and they will learn to have your attitude. You also need to be happy because someone else is happy too. Sometimes people get jealous when people get what they want and they don’t. Don’t be happy when someone is sad. You should be respectful of them and be sad with them. Avoid picking fights with other people. Do not be rude to your enemy, imagine yourself in their position. Be as good as you possibly can so that evil cannot find you,

 My challenge for you is to use these in your everyday lives and it will make your life so much better!
