Are you Christian? Might not be as easy a question to answer as you think
I have gone to church and considered myself a Christian my entire life. So, why when I started working at a ministry (Women of Faith) did most people that have been in my life for a while, including my parents, give me a funny sideways look?
Here is what I think. Accepting Jesus as a part of your life is only the first step and only one of many steps on the path in really becoming a Christian. Calling yourself a Christian, going to church every week or living a good life doesn’t save you. There are plenty of people that live life by what most would consider Christian principles that are not going to heaven.
If you are a Christian, than people should be able to look at your life and not miss the fact that you have The Lord in your life. I am sure that people looked at my life in college (living with my boyfriend, never going to church and getting drunk every weekend) and said if that is Christianity than I have it too. Yuck.
Until someone can look at your life and see something different, be very cautious about applying the term Christian to yourself.
