Christianity Is A Lifestyle!!

Being a Christian, a serious Christian  i.e. living a Christ-centered life is an every-day work . Right from the time we open our eyes in the morning till we hit the bed at night we need his wisdom to not act foolish! This is exactly why we need to meditate his word ‘everyday’, not for him ;he already knows the bible, remember he gave it to us(2 timothy 3:16)!! But it is for us,for our benefit, so that we don’t act carnal: earthly or worldly;so that we become eligible citizens of heaven, representatives of Christ on earth!

Now,Every-day work means what, we might ask..but every-day work for us involves and revolves around the deliberate “Put-on's”

i.e purposely, even if we don’t feel like loving we should Put-On love(Colossians 3:14),

should be watchful and careful with our mouth, our thoughts, our actions,our conduct so that we don’t slip away,

should be thankful and grateful,

should clothe ourselves with godly virtues(Colossians 3:12-14),

should rid-ourselves and Put-to-death earthly nature(Colossians 3:5-10)  

it involves “seeking peace and pursuing it”(1 Peter3:11, Psalms 34:14 ) i.e. you should on-purpose look for peace in an unpeaceful situation and then go after it. Bible also says to promote peace(proverbs12:20)

Paul’s letters are filled with instructions for a Christian-living .He doesn’t mince his words about Christ-centered living! He tells us how to live, behave as Christ is dwelling in us and through our living,we show the nature of Christ to the world!

He says to “make every effort” , that“as far as possible from your side, to walk in-peace, live in peace with everyone” (Hebrews 12:11 ,Romans 14:19,Romans 12:18)”

Christianity is a lifestyle you chose, saying “NO” to ungodliness (Titus 2:12) and staying righteous,self-controlled,upright…it needs constant work because half the time we have no idea that we need help and other times we resort to “the blaming-game”-because of others I had to…, because of that particular situation I had to….
But the Good news is we don't have to do it on our own and if we slip,it is okay because Our God is a forgiving God ,who wants to and is ever-ready to help us be holy but we should want to be helped and ask him!
