Wht ds t mn 2 b a Chrstn

To be a Christian does not mean that you love church, you love to sing, you love to listen to boring sermons and get up early on Sunday to go to church with your family. No, to be a Christian means that you love God and you want to serve him. You find Jesus beautiful and not useful for your own gain. You should seek to experience God's love not just know about his love. The devil and the demons believe and know about God's love, but it's actually experiencing his love that saves us. Don't think that you are going to be more spiritual if you simply pray more or read your Bible more. When you read your Bible, read it not for what you can get out of it, like a self-help book, but read it to learn about your Savior. Pray, not for things that you want and when bad things happen, but for the needs of others and to praise God. I promise you, it may not feel like it at first, but your faith will come alive much more if you do this. Because you cannot please God by what you do. God will only find pleasure in you through Jesus Christ and you only find Jesus by seeking after Him and seeking after His beauty.
