I try to live a Christian life as the bible says. I spent the first 37 years of my life thinking I was a Christian because I went to a Christian church on Sunday, if it was convenient but I made sure to be there on Easter and Christmas. The rest of the week I lived the same as those that never darken a church door. I started reading the bible and I could see I was a very lukewarm Christian at best and maybe a turnoff to those that expected Christians to be a better example in everyday life. So I made the decision to be born again, to accept Jesus as my Saviour and try to live my life as close as I could to the example that Jesus lived His. Salvation is free, not of works lest any man should boast, but salvation without work is dead. Took me a while to determine what that meant. So we are expected to follow what the bible says, to spread the Gospel to those that don't know the Gospel, so that means witnessing, by word and example, by supporting your local church and outreach ministries, feeding and clothing the poor, etc. Using gifts God gave us in service to Him and our fellow man. I know I fall short many times but I try. Being a Christian will bring on attacks from Satan, our fellow man and even other Christians, When this happens the bible says to rejoice because God knows you are working for Him and making a difference. We should examine ourselves daily to make sure we are living like God wants us to live. If I see someone heading for destruction and don't tell them, I may be held responsible for that person's destruction. That is in the bible. Being a Christian is not an easy walk in the park, we represent our Holy God and should bring glory to His name, not shame.
