ATTRIBUTE OF A TRUE CHRISTIAN

This is a question for everyone no matter your position. Remember! He that thinketh he stands should take heed less he falls. Remember Peter in the bible. After made a confession of who Christ his, he thought he was ready but three times he denied Christ.

Some people have never been to church yet they claim to be a Christian perhaps they were born into a Christian family; that is the case of many.

Some do go to church because they feel that as a Christian, they should be in church on Sunday and rarely attend weekly service. But is all that?

Does going to church make you a christian? even unbelievers goes to church

Everyone knows who a Christian is, but every few know what it takes to be a Christian. You enter a taxi and the driver takes you to your destination. The both of you are in the taxi but there are two different people inside. The passenger and the driver. The passenger may know who a driver is, but he can never know what it takes to be a driver and to be driver that particular taxi.

Gandhi said ‘’I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”

When we call ourselves Christian we’re telling the world I am a follower of Christ. I live after the pattern of Christ but does our way of life concur to the ways Christ? 2 Tim 3:5 Titus 1:15
