Action Defines a Christian

7/23/2017

 
​There is no such thing as “conservative” or “liberal” Christian. Simply put, one is a Christian, or he isn’t. There is no emphasis or attachment to the word “Christian.”

Study your Bibles, look at the three times the word appears in the scripture (Acts 11:26, 26:28; 1 Peter 4:16). If the word conservative fits the description revealed in the word of God about the character of the Christian, then of course his life will represent that kind of action. It is to be expected, but we don’t attach the virtues that every Christian is suppose to have, to the word itself. For example, we wouldn’t say “wet rain.” Naturally rain is water, and of course it will be wet. So if the virtue of a Christian is being reserved, then of course that will be the fruit the person will bear.

Another example is that Christians don’t fornicate or use profanity.

These are the virtues of God’s word that teach them not to behave in such a manner. The term, “fornicating Christian” doesn’t exist.

A fornicator isn’t a Christian. One is either a Christian or he isn’t. One is either faithful, or he is unfaithful (Luke 6:43-45).
