How to spot a Christian

The truth about who you are is not what you believe about yourself, or even what you say about yourself. It is what you do. “Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did.” (1Jo 2:6) If you believe you are a Christian and you say you are a disciple you should live like Jesus did. The distinguishing characteristic of Jesus’ life was love. (1Jo 2:8) Therefore the church should be distinguished not only by what she believes and says, but more important, by what she does. Lord, show me how to love and lead your people into incarnational service so that we might reveal your glory to those who seek you.
