Christianity

"Meanwhile, live in such a way that you are a credit to the Message of Christ. Let nothing in your conduct hang on whether I come or not. Your conduct must be the same whether I show up to see things for myself or hear of it from a distance. Stand united, singular in vision, contending for people's trust in the Message, the good news, not flinching or dodging in the slightest before the opposition. Your courage and unity will show them what they're up against: defeat for them, victory for you—and both because of God." Philippians 1:27-28 (The Message)

        How are you living today? It's a simple question with a complicated answer for some. There are those out there that still really haven't figured out this whole Christianity thing. How to live for Christ, or more importantly how to die to yourself. Christianity in its simplest form is people who are devoted to living as Christ did.

        For those who don't know the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are replete with examples of the most selfless, loving man ever to roam the earth. His life was so magnificent that millennia after His time here on earth we still revere His love and sacrifice for all mankind. 

        Now I know what some of you might be saying. How is it possible to live like that? The answer is rather simple but difficult in execution. Live life one day at a time (Matthew 6:34) and daily take up your cross and follow Him (Matthew 16:24). Christ's goal was to reach the world with His message of grace,love, and salvation. Our lives reflect message of Christ. It is totally up to us on how this world views Christ. The less we focus on ourselves the more the world will see Him through us.
