This One is going to Be Random. Just Warning you.

@ 1.33am, this post made sense. I'll edit it later if I realize i wrote down complete gibberish.

What does it Really Look like to be a Christian? Everyone seems to have a differing opinion on it. A few people I know think it is simply by word and perhaps abstaining from some things that make you “Christian”. It’s not that we’ve sat down and really talked about it- You can tell by their lives. To profess Christ by word only and not live it out is ridiculous. Those that deceive themselves in that way trust too much in a false intellectual salvation, and not the true salvation that Christ Actually can provide. I’m Talking about Fire Insurance.

Jude 1:3-4, “Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints. For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.” [NASB]

I believe that the American Church is assaulted by the Dead. We have Zombie Christians. Perhaps Some Are truly saved, however I can’t help but wonder how many have fallen off the high road and have failed to notice. It’s hard to be a Christian today and know what a True Christian needs to look like. The Church today and all the dead weight it has to carry doesn’t help the issue. The Fact that the common church dilutes the Gospel and the bible obviously doesn’t help at all either.
Obviously, Christ is our Ultimate example.

All that to say:
It seems like The Church in America has very few true Christians to look to as role Models. As I see it, we can choose to be two types of Christians: Ones that profess Christ with our Words only or We can be real christians that live our lives by our knowledge of the gospel and be people of Conviction; True Role Models.

**I'm not advocating Legalism at all. All I am saying is that if you examine your life and see No Fruits of the spirit and You truly are professing Christ with your Mouth only- Than perhaps you need to re-evaluate your Salvation. If You look at your life and you see Fruits of the Spirit- Then Live your faith out. A time is coming swiftly when the Church will be strengthened by the bitter whips of persecution. Who will stand?

I only have one question:
Are You contending earnestly for the faith?
