Being a Christian
What does being Christian mean? How do we live the Christian life?
Some people might say that we obey the rules. Others may say that we are to separate ourselves from sin. Still others might say that being a Christian entails total commitment. These may have a place, but is this what Christianity is all about?
I know I have practiced each of these at times in my past. But what is the mark of the Christian life? Jesus said it is love. In fact, we cannot love God if we are not loving others.
We are being Christian when we love each other and the world as Christ Jesus loves the world. This love life seeks the best for the people with whom we come in contact. It brings wholeness and beauty.
So how do you understand love? How do you love those around you? What are your biggest challenges with loving others?
Let’s get the conversation started.
