Being a Christian does not mean that I am better or holier than anyone. It simply means that that I am a sinner saved by the grace of God. Saying that I am a Christian does not mean that I am better than anyone else. It just simply means that I am weak and rely on the strength that Jesus gives me to get through each day. I am not a perfect person by any means. My heartaches and pain are real, and I experience them just as anyone does.
There will be many that say they are Christians; however, their lifestyle and speech does not reflect it. According to the Bible, a Christian is someone who responds to God’s calling. A Christian repents of his sins, is baptized, receives God’s Holy Spirit and lives as Jesus lived.
Can we live the perfect life that Jesus lived? The answer is no; however, we can put our calling to be God’s child before everything and everyone else. Do we that call ourselves Christians do this? Not always.
