How To Live A Christian Life Series
Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Oct 23, 2001 (message contributor)
Summary: Paul gives three simple steps to how to live the Christian live -- Seek Christ, Think Christ, and Live Christ!
Living Christ is what makes everything real for the Christian.
You can seek to know about Christ, but if you don’t live Christ like lives, it is useless. In fact, Jesus made one of his harshest rebukes toward the Pharisees. In chapter five of John’s Gospel, Jesus tells the Pharisees (John 5:39-40) "You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life."
St. Paul said in I Corinthians 13, "I can understand all mysteries and all knowledge ... but if I have not love, I am nothing."
Perhaps James said it best in his New Testament letter: (James 2:26), "As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead."
You can SEEK Christ.
You can THINK Christ.
But if you want to be a Christian, you have to LIVE Christ.
