I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.
-Mahatma Ghandi
Why is that?
Why did Ghandi, a man who virtually accepted all religions as ways to heaven, say such a thing?
Let’s consider a few things.
Many people who claim to be ‘Christians’ curse, have sex out side of mairrage, get drunk on a regular basis, and simply don’t act like Christians! We are the salt and light of the world (Matt. 5:13-16) - why don’t we act like it?
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
-Romans 12:2
God tells us, through Paul, not to “conform to the patterns of this world.” We are not to ‘do as they do.’ We are to stand firm in the faith (1 Cor. 16:13) and be different (Matt. 5:13-16). Let’s be different than the world. Let’s truly strive to live like Christ.
I urge you, Brothers and Sisters in Christ, do not do as the world does. Be different, stand out, and show others what it truly means to live a life filled with Christ.
