The Christians of biblical times were so committed to Christ that their lives compelled others to believe. Christianity today does not seem to have that same influence. What created this shift? God has not changed, the significance of Jesus’ sacrifice has not changed, the power of the Holy Spirit has not changed. The change can only be found within today’s Christian culture. We have literally changed what it means to be a Christian and oddly enough the word “Christian” is where our problems begin. Yet there is still hope! You can be a follower of Christ whose life compels others to know Him. Jesus reveals to us five essential ways that we can all be better than a Christian.
