What does it mean to be a follower of Christ. Often I interact with others who claim to be Christians, but their actions and their words show that they are indeed not followers of Christ. Yes, we are known by our actions. This does not mean that we are perfect, but it does mean that our actions will continue to conform to the life of Christ and not be conformed to the world. Our faith, our beliefs, our teachings should be offensive to the world. The world doesn't understand the truth of the Gospel and they don't want to. Jesus told us that the world will hate us because it hated Him first. Sounds fun doesn't it?
