So You Call Yourself a Christian?

It amazes me how many people call themselves Christians.

I say this because many people want to identified by the name Christian but are not willing to do what Christ did when he walked here on earth.

Here are 12 Things Jesus did and all Christians should do:

1. Jesus was baptized
2. Jesus kept the Sabbath (Saturday)
3. Jesus was tempted by the devil
4. Jesus ministered 2 people's needs and then fed them spiritually
4. Jesus did evangelism and did not just sit in the Synagogues on Saturday
5. Jesus ministered and healed the sick
6. Jesus lived an exemplary life filled with the Holy Ghost
6. Jesus never spoke in an unknown tongue when he preached or ministered 2 people
7. Jesus kept all the commandments
8. Jesus lived to do his Father's will
9. Jesus lived the truth, taught truth and corrected those who didn't know the truth
10. Jesus never turned away someone who was in need of a blessing.
11. Jesus introduced communion and foot washing ordinance
12. Jesus took up His cross

Now we have every last thing that Jesus did when He was here on earth. In order to call yourselves Christians you have to be just like Jesus by following His steps to righteousness.

That means we should be baptized (by totally being immersed in water) the biblical way.

Jesus did.

We should keep the Biblical sabbath that Jesus kept holy. which starts upon sunset Friday and ends sunset Saturday night. It is a twenty-four hour period.

Jesus did

We must be tempted by the devil and be tried in adversity.

Jesus did.

We must be into evangelism, not just sit in church and minister to those who need to hear the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Jesus did.

We must heal the sick by praying for them, visiting them, and by God's grace they may be healed. If it is god's will?

Jesus did.

We try to reinvent the wheel by passing out a tracks and giving Bible studies without meeting people where they are at.

We must minister to peoples needs and then feed them spiritually.

Jesus did.

Many of us live a life filled with mischief.
We must live an exemplary life filled with the Holy Ghost

Jesus did.

Ask Solomon the wisest man whoever lived and he will tell you
in Ecclesiastes 12: 13, 14 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing , whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

We must keep the commandments of God.

Jesus did.

Now if Jesus is our role model then we need to follow His ways and actions. No exceptions because He is the author and finisher of our faith.

So you call yourself a Christian?

Action speak louder than words. Do what you do and play what you say. Don't just talk about it walk about it.
