Marks of the True Christian.


Does anyone know the meaning of a true Christian? If you look it up and read the meaning of a true Christian in the Bible, it will tell you. Most of us think we are a true Christian already, when some of us truly do not know for sure if we are or not. 


"Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor." - Romans 12:9-10


Do you show hatred toward others? Do you show honor instead of hate? When it becomes tough do you take the easy way out? Bless the ones that are in trouble. Pray for the needy. Pray for the poor, help everyone in need. 


"Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another. Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peacefully with all." - Romans 12:14-18


If you wish for evil on one, then you are not a true Christian. You need to love your brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ and live peacefully with one another as God intended for us to do so. Be loving toward everyone no matter the circumstances. No matter what you have gone through with someone, or what someone has done to you never become evil. Do not let the devil overcome you. 


"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." - Romans 12:21


Read and understand the true meaning of a Christian. Do his word and follow his commandments. Do not be hateful. 



The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.
Amen.
