What it takes to be a REAL Christian

We as people can say with our mouth what sounds good, and what pleases others.  It is nice to "feel" good and go with that feeling and see where it takes us.  This is "worldly Christianity right here."  We want others to KNOW we are a christian because are church attendance shows it, because we say it out loud, we can post scriptures from time to time and say nice things, etc.  This is all surface right here.  To be a REAL Christian, it goes way beyond the surface.  If we TRULY have God in our life and Jesus as our Lord and Savior then our life should show it.  Why are we in church? Because we WANT to be in church because there we are in fellowship with other believers and we can actively serve as members in the body of Christ.  Why are we doing bible studies? Because we WANT to seek God and get with other fellow believers and study the Word of God.  Why do we read the bible? Because we WANT to have revelation and wisdom from the Lord, we want to hear his voice.  Why do we forgive? Because we WANT to be obedient to God because we love him and fear him.  These few characteristics I have mentioned are REAL Christians.  I can be in church but that doesn't make me a Christan, I can post christian songs, but that doesn't make me a christian.  To be a REAL christian my actions WILL stack up to the word of God because I love the Lord and he is first in my life.  Will REAL Christians be in places that grieve the Holy Spirit? (nightclubs, bars, etc) No because the Holy Spirit is a gift from the Lord and our bodies are a temple and we were bought at a price, and we are to not grieve the Holy Spirit, we are the Lords.  Being a REAL christian takes practice, it is about being sensitive enough to understand when the Holy Spirit is speaking to you.  We have to honor the Lord with our lives and with our actions.  There are so many people that are turned off to Christianity because of so many "FAKE" Christians.  If so called Christians are being "the world" just as everyone else in the world, then why would anyone not saved need Jesus as their savior?  We need to be a light to this dark world, and stand up for a better cause!! We need to be disciples of Christ, we need to know the bible, so we can go out and preach the word and become fishers of men!! There is MORE to this life, there is an eternal life that REALLY matters, not this earthly life!!! So it is time to stand up and be a REAL christian!!
